Documents that will be used in the tour

Just thought I would give everyone a preview of some things I will cover.

The original map of New Amsterdam





What the Equestrian Statue of King George III may have looked like.

1930's shot of Lower Manhattan. I use this pic to explain the changes along the East River after shipping changed.




Gilded Age Banquet at Delmonico's in 1906

Stock Certificate from the 1800's. Used while talking about the American Bank Note Company at 70 Broad St.

Wall Street in the mid-1800s




City Hall on Wall St sometime after 1789.

1920 bombing of Wall St.




Newspaper Row - I like the way the great dailies tower over City Hall - late 1800's
