Academy of Design. The National Academy of Design is an honorary association of American artists, founded in New York City in 1825 by Samuel Morse, Asher Durand, Thomas Cole, Martin E. Thompson, Charles Cushing Wright, Ithiel Town, and others “to promote the fine arts in America through instruction and exhibition.” Membership is limited to 450 American artists and architects, who are elected by their peers on the basis of recognized excellence. The Academy occupied several locations in Manhattan over the years. Notable among them was this building on Park Avenue and 23rd Street designed by architect P. B. Wight and built 1863–1865 in a Venetian Gothic style modeled on the Doge’s Palace in Venice.

Bowery, (Atlantic Garden) N.Y. The Atlantic Garden was a beer garden and music hall established by William Kramer in 1858 at what is now 50 Bowery, next to the Bowery Theatre (built in 1826) and on the site of the Bull’s Head Tavern, formerly headquarters for New York’s cattle market, and the New York Hotel. The premises extended west to a secondary frontage on Elizabeth Street. The Bowery Theatre was built as a fashionable theater, but by the 1850s it came to cater to immigrant groups; the Germans especially patronized Atlantic Garden, which featured a theater behind the beer hall, where the new entertainment of “variety” acts were presented along with popular music concerts. In 1910, following the neighborhood’s changing dynamic, Atlantic Garden switched to presenting Yiddish theatre. In 2013 structures on the site were razed to make way for a high-rise hotel.

The Church of the Saviour, Brooklyn. In June 1833, forced between choosing a ferry ride to Unitarian services in Manhattan or attending services of a different denomination in Brooklyn where they would be refused communion, a group of ten men (John Frost, Josiah Dow, George Blackburn, William H. Carey, William H. Hale, Henry Leeds, Seth Low, Alexander H. Smith, and Charles and Thomas Woodward) set to forming a Unitarian society in Brooklyn. The First Unitarian Congregational Society of Brooklyn was incorporated two years later as the thirteenth functioning church in Brooklyn and the first in the city to be controlled by its congregation. As its place of worship the First Church constructed the Church Of The Saviour on Pierrepont Street by Monroe Place in 1844. The building was designed by architect Minard Lefever in the Gothic Revival style.
