No. 183. Mt. St. Vincent. Central Park. Before there was a park, however, there were nuns. In 1847 the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul arrived at the still-bucolic region of Manhattan and opened the Academy of St. Vincent, a school and convent. The nuns left when the area was incorportated into the park, however the building remained standing and utilized for several purposes. During the Civil War, it was briefly used as a hospital; later, it was a “restaurant and hostelry,” with some certainly spectacular views for guests. The stone chapel was even refashioned as an gallery for artwork and “stuffed specimens of animals of considerable value.” Unfortunately, the structures were destroyed in a fire in 1881.

Central Park Hotel. The Central Park Hotel was listed in an 1859 NYC directory. The owner of the hotel was Hermann Knubel. The City of New York had acquired some of Hermann Knubel’s land for Central Park. So Mr. Knubel had apparent advance knowledge and quickly put that knowledge to work. Central Park was directly across from his hotel and the Broadway and Seventh Avenue train terminus was nearby. The Central Park Garden at 900 Seventh Avenue was opened next door to the hotel in May, 1868.
