1840s New York: Walking Tour through SoHo
About this experience
Begin the walking tour at Astor Place and Colonnade Row, notable as the 1830s residences of families such as the Astors and Delanos. Continue to the Civic Center, formerly part of the historically significant Five Points neighborhood. Trace a route that in the 1840s led visitors from the elegant Colonnade Row and Washington Square to areas of poverty. Along the way, observe a range of architectural styles including Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival homes. Walk down Broadway to witness the transition from a village-like settlement to New York’s early cosmopolitan areas featuring shops, theaters, and hotels. Explore the shift towards a hub of trade and commerce marked by prominent buildings. Finish by delving into the history of Canal Street, Five Points, and the Mulberry Bend area.
