A piece of forgotten New York history

A piece of forgotten New York history

You need to find a piece of forgotten New York history: an object, location, building, etc. that either no longer serves its original function, serves no function at all, or now serves a different function. This could be a physical object, or even be a neighborhood, a street, or a building.

A piece of forgotten New York history

Research the history of the object (through ProQuest historical newspapers and other first-hand and secondhand sources). Write an essay in which you make an argument about the object’s survival: what does it say about the particular location, and the city as a whole, that this object still exists?
