What to Expect
Follow the City's Northward Growth!
About
This tour traces the northward movement of New York's wealthiest residents through the 19th century. Our route starts at Washington Square, one of the choicest mansion districts of the early 19th century. From there, we work our way uptown, tracing the movement of New York's wealthiest and most influential families as they tried to keep ahead of the city's ceaseless commercial and industrial growth. We discuss in depth just how, where, and why a "Gilded Age" occurred: what were its root causes and what were its long-term implications for New York's civic, social, architectural, and infrastructural development?
Major landmarks: Washington Square, Astor Place, Grace Church, Union & Madison Squares, Gramercy Park, Madison Square.
