New York. 1891

[corey123]

Hi all,

Does anyone know where I can find a map of New York from the time of Carry Browns death?

Or any photos of the area, again around her death?

Many thanks.

I am sure someone here must have a map of New York from 1891?

Thanks

Hi Corey,

And don't want any.

Amitiés,
David

Here are some news articals featuring "Old Shakespears" death.

Just for reference, I still want to see any maps or photos from New York city in 1891 and surrounding dates.

Thanks

Thanks for the articles, Corey.

Try this link for a map. It's the fourth ward in 1891. You should be able to zoom in and go to the southeast corner of Water St and Catherine Slip. To the right of the Brooklyn Bridge approach.

Wasn't Brown staying in room #31? If so, do we know where it was in the building? I would guess that it was on the floor just visible above the roof of the market. Perhaps I'm totally off.

Hello Roy,

Many thanks indeed, I truly appriciate these.

Stan,

I don't know, however Wolf Vanderlinden, if still around, probably knows.

I know Ben Ali A.K.A "frenchy" lived at No.33

Edit: Stan, yes she lived at No.31

Last Edit: From the New York Affair Part-One- Vanderlinden:

The reporters were able to freely interview witnesses, such as Miniter, and were allowed to tramp over the crime scene and examine all of the other rooms on the fifth floor. Outside of Room No. 31 they were either shown, or found themselves, two pieces of blood evidence. A bowl of bloody water, as if someone had washed blood off their hands, was discovered in Room No. 32 (this was never explained nor linked to the murder) and blood was found on the scuttle, or small trap door, leading to the roof of the building. As no one had seen “C. Kniclo” exit from the hotel it was supposed that he had escaped to the roof and from there either climbed down or entered the adjoining building from which he exited.
