WHEN NEW Y
. Early 19th Century
New York. as few remember it. is.
described in an interesting mnnn-r'
by Charles liurnham. of Wilton.
“ he wrote the following .ctter to the .
New York Herald.
The movement to have the Post
office building removed from City
Hall Park and the location restored
to something of its original lines
revl'ves interest in the early chron-
icles of that locality and in the still
more memorable record or the re-
glon upon which the park laces. In
rare mnetolutlonary days the ground
where the Hull stands “as a com-
mon or open field. with o. none
too savory reputation. at times being
used as a Tyburn or place of exe-
cution. a ioynglng spot for idlers and
a center (or the disorderly element
01 the city. The northerly end at
one time held the building where so
many American soldiers during the
Revolution were cruelly incarcerat-
ed. the structure later converted in-
to the rib Jail and Bridwell. the
later building being altered into the
Hall 0! Records.
\thn the City Hall was completed
in 1822 efforts were made to trunsc
form its surrounding acreage of
mud. "a filthy slough, tit only tor
pigs to wander through." into I
park. An i‘ron railing partly sur-
rounded the inclosure from the
south. while a. board and picket
fence about the Jail at the opposite
end was an eyesore {or many years.
Two large iron gates stood at the
south entrance. mounted on tour
{our large grunltc balls. placed
there in 1827. They had been
brought from tho Dardanelles.
where it was said they were used by
the Turks as cannon balls. The
paths through the par were
marked 11 1th planks for walks. along
which were placed various styles of
whitewashed posts held together by
strips of. wood. causing such an out~
cry that they were sumlanted by
neatly painted posts of uniform size
~ connectetd with iron chains. which
l were immediately seized upon by the
urchins of the street. as ’swings.
Grass and trees Were grown with
difficulty and it was not. until the
late ’60: that it became a well kept
and orderly public square.

tlce looked down upon the open field

cut from Broa way to Chatham
