made into musket balls for use against
the ~ling's soldiers.
Lord Howe, British commander in
the Colonies shortly after the Con-
tinental army was driven out OF New
York made the Kennedy house at !
Broadway his quarters.
Evacuation Details Arranged There
The impression is that it was in the
Kennedy house that some OF the details
concerning the evacuation of New YORK
ana the other Colonies by the British
were discussed with representatives, OF
the Continental army. The Kennedy
iamiiy came back 70 the house IN 1883.
The war over, the dwelling colony
around Bowling Green again took on
the life Of peace and comfort which
the trouble with the mother country
had interrunted.
The capi~l of the new nation was
at Wall and Nassau streets, and Cen
oral Washington, President Of the
United States, lived for time in the
Bunker mansions on Broadway, be-
tween Morris Street md Exchange
Alley.
The Kennedys occupied the house
for, about seven years after they
returned to il. In 1890 it was rented
to Mrs. Graham for use as finishing
school for ladies. Two years later

way station, and will be finished about
the first of the year.
The builders OF the apartments said
yesterday that inquiries have come
from folks outside as we'll as inside
the city, indicating that the rental
question and permanency of occupancy
are uppermost in the minds Of people
in all sections, and that distance is no
hindrance when relief is promised.
The larger number OF these people,
it was stated, are seeking TO own an
apartment on the cooperative basis
purely as an investment, at the same
time keeping themselves outside the
pale of exorbitant rents. Cooperative
ownership as expressed In the Con-
course Apartment plan extends to each
cooperate perpetual lease, in return
for which he agrees to share his pro-

nedy removed the old Broen house short
Is after he bought it and also took down
his own home. He built on the site what
was considered one of the finest dwell

clouds of disscnsion were seen on the
horizon, and though some considered
them threatening there were maTy who
did not think that way. Captain Ken

that nothing would come that would dis

the British soon took possession Of the

During those early days OF Colonial

A former Mayor of this city one time
decided that he would inspect the
Minettas preliminary to cleaning out
the place. At the time negroes and
whites of very low types lived there.
They de.ied the Mayor to change their
way of living and they sent word to
him that if he came into Minetta

police sent word to the negroes and
the white population that they were to
remain behind doors when the Mayor
came, but they told the police in Ian

the Mayor that they lived in the Minet-

The Mayor came as promised and so

as was promised and it was a fight
such as New York has rarely wit
