View from the Corner of Grand St., Looking Up. Banner for Hope’s Photograph Gallery. Anthony’s sign in distance. The image shows the banner for “Hope’s Photography Gallery” at 477 Broadway. This is the gallery of George W. Hope. This gallery produced CDVs of three formerly enslaved children from New Orleans—Rebecca Huger, Charles Taylor, and Rosina Downs. The resulting cartes de visite were sold to raise funds for the education of African-Americans in the Department of the Gulf, a Union-occupied area during the Civil War.
Music Hall of the Central Park Garden. On the corner is the 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.
