first lot granted on De Here Street or
Broadway was granted to Martin Crei-
ger on which TO build house and lay
out garden. This property represents
the site of the Bowling Green Building,
at and II Broadway. Creiger erected
9 tavern on his property. but it was not
for seventeen years after he had OBJ
tanned it. He was one of the most
popular men in the Dutch colony. and,
naturally, his place jumped to the front
in popular favor Immediately. He
fought Indians. defeated the Swedes on
the Delaware, was the first fire chief of
New York and head of the citizen SOL
diery. When war threatened Creiger
was called to bolster up the defenses.
He left the colony in disgust when the
British recaptured the place for the
second time and he spent the rest of
his days on the Mohawk River. His
tavern was removed in 1913 and a new
building erected. 1t was known for a
time as Burns's Coffee House. In 1853
Mrs. Steel, who had conducted a fash
lonable place on Broad Street, took
over the property and called it the
h1ng's Arms Tavern. But 1T was not a
prohtable venture, and few wears later
Burns again took the property.
Ihe block became one of the best
known and perhaps the most valuable
IN the colony. John Chambers, Peter
bayard and Peter Jay accepted the Of
fer Of the City Council to lease the
parade for bowling green and recrea-
tlon center for the inhabitants. They
New-York tribune., 1921-01-30

paid one peppercorn q year for eleven
years. Bowling Green is worth
s1,ooo,ooO to-day. The sport Of bowls
was enjoyed there for the next eleven
years under these terms, when a re-
newal lease was made, but this time the
price was twenty shillings.
Just Obeying Order Of 1744
In l744 the bend in the west side Of
Broadway was ordered corrected by
City Council for the general beauty Of
the place, and permission was given to
bring the houses out to line estab-
lished by the two corner houses
that of Sir Peter Warren at the Bat
terry Place corner and Augustus Jay
at the Morris Street corner. But it is
singular that only now are the orders
of 179 years ago beng obeyed. Sir
Peter Warren, who later became an ad-
miral Of the British Navy, built the
house on the site of the old Kock
tavern property. It was fashioned af-
ter the British Embassy at Lisbon, ard
the plans we're brought from Portugal.
1t was the first house in New York to
have colored glass windows One of
its rooms was 26x4O in size. 1t was
often spoken of as the Kennedy house,
which was attributed to the fact that
Archibald Kennedy lived there for a
time. He left for England before the
start of the Revolutionary War.
Generals Washington, Lee and Put
nam made their headquarters there.

Most Interesting Block Development
Steamship Row, as Broadway Facing
Bowling Green Will Be Known From
Now On, Has Been Associated With
u. S. History Three Centuries

With the Custom House 'diaNenally
across there is no doubt about the
future of the section which has been
handed over to the men and interests
who control the traffic of the seas.
Structurally the block will reach. the
height of its development before the
close OF summer. This means that
nothing further in the direction Of IN
teneive structural development can be
looked for. The block has reached the
limit Of possibility, tho first steps
toward which were taken about three
centuries ago. In view Of the char
acter of the tenantry Of this property
It is interesting to note that one Of
It's early property owners, Martin
Creiger by name, was a ship owner
Burns Coffee House on the, property
now the site Of the Bowling Green
Building that 200 merchants met and
decided to- sacrifice the commercial
interests Of the colony in repudiation
of the notorious stamp act. This
bic X, too. was the landing place for
the Manhattan Indians, and when
Peter Minuit landed from the Sea
MIS- In 1926 he stepped into this
block from his barge which landed
just west Of the present Bowling
Green, or broadway.
Greatest Realty Deal
It was on this block and over the
little park known as Bowling Green
that Minuit men and the Indian own
ers of this island sat down to close
the most famous real estate deal in
the history Of the world, the purchase
of what is now $4,000, 900 900 prop
erty, Manhattan Island, for $24.
Pieter Rocks, a soldier Of the gar
rlson, erected tavern OH the corner
occupied by the Washington building,
or the new home of the international
Mercantile Marine Lines. Pieter was
= great soldier, good innkeeper, but
sweetheart to go through with the
promise she had made him. Anne was
her name, and the story is that she did
not regret being forced into wedlock
with Pieter, for she got the tavern and
sold 1t at good price. There Is little
doubt of this, for it was ono of the
principal points in the city. The
Plalne, OF parade, was in front Of her
tavern. Wagons We're parked there
while folks attended religious services
In the chapel in the fort. Vegetable
place, and two agricultural fairs were
conducted there every year.
Conducting public house was very
good business, because IN the tax re-
port for 1874 Anne Kock was rated at
$4,000, big amount of money at the
time. Property owners in that block
and as far north as Rector Street on
the west side Of Broadway, sixteen in
all, were rated from 81 900 to $4,000.
At that time lots facing Bowling Green
or the Plaine were held at $50, which
was about the highest price in town,
and very good homes could be had at
$14 year rent.
Until 1643 settlers had been allowed
to occupy land as they saw fit, but in
that year things were changed, and the

Home Rulers Meeting Place

The Kings Arms or Burns's Coffee
House, the house next door, became
the headquarters Of the movement
against the rule without representa-
tion. They called themselves the Lib
erty Boys. The day the Stamp Act be-
came operative two companies Of Lib
erty Boys marched to the City Hall and
erected liberty pole and scaffold, on
which they hung the efigy of Lieuten-
ant Governor Golden. Then they took
his chariot, seated another effigy Of
him in it and dragged it down to the
fort at the Battery, where they burned
it before the soldiers on the ramparts,
who were prepared to resist the people.
When the Stamp Act was repealed the
feeling was SO joyous that the mer-
chants who voted to sacrifice their COM
nercial interests for the cause of lib
crty voted to erect statues to George
III and William Pitt. Five years later
an equestrian statue of the King ar
rived from England and it was placed
in the center of Bowling Green, and
the railing and its base now around the
park were erected at the same time.
Five years later the statue was pulled
down and shipped to Ltchtield, Conn,
where it was run into $4,000 bullets by
the wife and daughter OF Governor
Wolcott Of Connecticut.

The story Of New York always Is

not only true. but ~ thrilling and on
trancing as any tale written Of the sea,
the tropics Of the north woods. Char
acters that enter into these tales Of
fiction and make them what they are

every race, every creed and every type.
turers, men Of the woods, traitors, vii
lains. schemers, noblemen, plutocrats,
snobs and just ordinary folks. They
wrested with the great problems Of the
time. oil Of which are interesting II
not glorious.
1t Is hard even for q dreamer to pic
ture New York as city Of less pro-
portions than it is to-day. It cannot
be that this town Of great heights, tre-
anendous reaches, containing millions
and millions Of people and close to
100000 homes was once only clus-
ter of homes at the lower tip Of Man
haitian and walled in like the sacred
city Of Pekin.
The great big push that has sent New
York beyond the ancient cities Of lands
that were going places many years be-
fore we started, got under way about a
century ago and gained steadily in
force. AT the end Of the first fifty
years this old town had only 120 houses,
which is about twentieth part of the
buildings erected hero in 1919, which
end Of that fifty-year period the city
had q population Of 1000, which is the
population Of some of our tenements
in the crowded East Side sections.
Every block has q story all its own.
Some blocks have much more interest
ing histories than others. There are
not many who will dispute the state
ment that the most interesting block in
Manhattan Is that on Broadway facing
Bowling Green from the west.
Additional interest is added to the
are being made in the physical aspect
Of the block and the character Of the
business that will, take hold when these
giant structural monuments are fn-
ished. 1t is to be New York's steam
ship row. In these buildings will sit
men who own millions and millions of
dollars worth of vessels and control
directly or indirectly great numbers Of
ships that plow the waters both in the
nearby Atlantic and that lap the
shores of the far corners Of the earth.
Every ships master will know that
block.
Ship Owners Erecting Monuments
The Cunard Company will soon have
ready its building at the north end Of
the block, a $15,Oo0,000 structure that
replaced the old Stevens House. The
international Mercantile Marine Lines
are making over the old Washington
Building erected at the south end Of
the block by Cyrus Field Of cable fame
back in 1882. The structure be-
tween, the Bowling Green Building, the
home Of the Holland-American Line
and many other steamship companies
not so we'll known as the companies
which will control the buildings on
each side, has also undergone changes.
