Tenement History and Immigrant Life in the Lower East Side

Tenement History and Immigrant Life in the Lower East Side

Przegląd

From the Five Points and Mulberry Bend, through the Italian and Jewish immigrant waves, and finally what is today's Chinatown, this tour explores the development of a rustic landscape of lakes and farms into what became the mostly densely overcrowded neighborhood on earth barely 100 years ago. The incremental step-by-step process of putting the need for adequate housing over the drive for profit to house the immigrant poor, from disease-ridden cellar dwelling in tumble down shanties. to pre-, old- and new-law tenements, this tour uses pictures to show what is no longer there, and finds what continues to stand in the street walls today to tell the immensely rich, tragic and redemptive story of New York's Lower East Side.

Czego oczekiwać

Foley Square

We begin at the former sites of The Five Points neighborhood and Mulberry Bend, one-time notorious slums in New York City's history. The focus is on the "tenement," the early purpose-built housing for the working class, mostly immigrant poor whose history begins not far from this spot.

Columbus Park

Jacob Riis and his seminal work, How the Other Half Lives, helps bring to life the past communities that once occupied the site of today's Columbus Park, between Chinatown and the Court District.

Lower East Side

The heart of the tour is along the blocks of the Lower East Side and the non-stop tenement buildings that proliferated in the Lower East Side from the mid-19th to the early-20th Centuries. Not all tenements were associated with slum communities, though living conditions could be hard. We'll identify different tenements types from different eras, and witness the decades-long process of tenement evolution following advancing laws.

Manhattan Bridge

We will have a stunning view of the Municipal Building and the Woolworth Building East Broadway, one of Chinatowns most vibrant street scenes with hidden-in-plain-sight historic gems.

Museum At Eldridge Street

One of the most beautiful edifices in the city, The Eldridge Street Synagogue begins discussion of the Jewish experience in the Lower East Side, who, like the massive immigrant waves before them, have their own unique story to tell.

Tenement Museum

We pass the back of the museum where they replicate tenement life. Outhouses and clothes line help transport one back in time.

Williamsburg Bridge

DeLancey Street was the clothing discount outlet center of the past.

Rob is an expert on the history of the tenements and immigration of the 1800’s and up. I live in New York and learn so many new things, the tour was the best we have done. Highly recommend.

Robert was great, giving us a terrific perspective of the history of low income housing in the Lower East Side, and the succession of immigrant populations who passed through there. His binder of charts and pictures he shared with us as we walked was very helpful, as we saw how things changed over the years legally, architecturally, and geographically. Would definitely recommend for someone with a serious interest in the socio-economic and political history of the area. We also did two tours out of the Tenement Museum, and there was enough variation between the three that we didn't feel like it was too redundant. My wife and I were the only ones on the tour that day, and he was extremely easy to talk to, and took us on a few diversions because of our unique questions and interests.

We were amazed at the knowledge that Robert Amell shared with us. He was well organized and well-versed on the history of housing in New York City. He answered our many questions and was very gracious to spend so much time with us. Our eyes were opened and we want to know even more now. His tour was far beyond our expectations. Plus Mr. Amell was friendly and knew little spots tucked in along the way where we seniors could stop for a bathroom break or an egg cream. If you are interested in history, take this tour. We really enjoyed it.
