History

Colonial and Federal periods

edit

The Bowery is the oldest thoroughfare onManhattan Island,preceding European intervention as aLenapefootpath, which spanned roughly the entire length of the island, from north to south.[12]When the Dutch settled Manhattan island, they named the pathBouwerie road– "bouwerie" (or later "bouwerij" ) being an old Dutch word for "farm"[13]– because it connected farmlands and estates on the outskirts to the heart of the city in today'sWall Street/Battery Parkarea.

In 1654, the Bowery's first residents settled in the area ofChatham Square;tenfreedmenand their wives set up cabins and a cattle farm there.Petrus Stuyvesant,the last Dutch governor ofNew Amsterdambefore the English took control, retired tohis Bowery farmin 1667. After his death in 1672, he was buried in his private chapel. His mansion burned down in 1778 and his great-grandson sold the remaining chapel and graveyard, now the site of the Episcopal church ofSt. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery.[14]

In herJournalof 1704–05,Sarah Kemble Knightdescribes the Bowery as a leisure destination for residents of New York City in December:

Their Diversions in the Winter is RidingSleysabout three or four Miles out of Town, where they have Houses of entertainment at a place called Bowery, and some go to friends Houses who handsomely treat them. [...] I believe we mett 50 or 60 slays that day – they fly with great swiftness and some are so furious that they'le turn out of the path for none except a Loaden Cart. Nor do they spare for any diversion the place affords, and sociable to a degree, they'r Tables being as free to their Naybours as to themselves.[15]

By 1766, whenJohn Montresormade his detailed plan of New York,[16]"Bowry Lane", which took a more north-tending track at therope walk,was lined for the first few streets with buildings that formed a solid frontage, withmarket gardensbehind them; whenLorenzo Da Ponte,thelibrettistforMozart'sDon Giovanni,The Marriage of Figaro,andCosì fan tutte,immigrated to New York City in 1806, he briefly ran one of the shops along the Bowery, a fruit and vegetable store. In 1766, straight lanes led away at right angles to gentlemen's seats, mostly well back from the dusty "Road to Albany and Boston",as it was labeled on Montresor's map; Nicholas Bayard's was planted as anavenueof trees.James Delancey's grand house, flanked by matching outbuildings, stood behind a forecourt facing Bowery Lane; behind it was hisparterregarden, ending in anexedra,clearly delineated on the map.

TheBull's Head Tavernin the Bowery, 1801 –c. 1860

TheBull's Head Tavernwas noted forGeorge Washington's having stopped there for refreshment before riding down to the waterfront to witness thedeparture of British troopsin 1783. Leading to thePost Road,the main route toBoston,the Bowery rivaledBroadwayas a thoroughfare; as late as 1869, when it had gained the "reputation of cheap trade, without being disreputable" it was still "the second principal street of the city".[17]

Early growth

edit

As the population of New York City continued to grow, its northern boundary continued to shift northward, and by the early 1800s the Bowery was no longer a farming area outside the city. The street gained in respectability and elegance, becoming a broadboulevard,as well-heeled and famous people moved their residences there, includingPeter Cooper,theindustrialistandphilanthropist.[3]The Bowery began to rivalFifth Avenueas an address.[3]

WhenLafayette Streetwas opened parallel to the Bowery in the 1820s, theBowery Theatrewas founded by rich families on the site of the Red Bull Tavern, which had been purchased byAndrew MorrisandJohn Jacob Astor;it opened in 1826 and was the largest auditorium inNorth Americaat the time.[3]Across the way theBowery Amphitheatrewas erected in 1833, specializing in the more populist entertainments ofequestrian showsandcircuses.From stylish beginnings, the tone of Bowery Theatre's offerings matched the slide in the social scale of the Bowery itself.

Economic decline

edit

The Bowery Lodge is one of the last remaining flophouses on the Bowery

By the time of theCivil War,themansionsand shops had given way to popularmusic halls,brothels,beer gardens,pawn shops,andflophouses,like the one at No. 15 where the composerStephen Fosterlived in 1864.[18]Theodore Dreiserclosed his tragedySister Carrie,set in the 1890s, with the suicide of one of the main characters in a Bowery flophouse. The Bowery, which marked the eastern border of the slum of "Five Points",had also become the turf of one of America's earliest street gangs, thenativistBowery Boys.In the spirit of social reform, the firstYMCAopened on the Bowery in 1873;[19]another notable religious andsocial welfareinstitution established during this period was theBowery Mission,founded in 1880 at 36 Bowery by ReverendAlbert Gleason Ruliffson.The mission has remained along the Bowery throughout its lifetime. In 1909 the mission moved to its current location at 227–229 Bowery.

By the 1890s, the Bowery was a center forprostitutionthat rivaled theTenderloin,also in Manhattan, and for bars catering togay men and some lesbiansat various social levels, from The Slide at 157Bleecker Street,New York's "worst dive",[20]to Columbia Hall at 5th Street, calledParesis Hall.One investigator in 1899 found sixsaloonsanddance halls,the resorts of "degenerates" and "fairies", on the Bowery alone.[21]Gay subculture was more highly visible there and more integrated into working-class male culture than it was to become in the following generations, according to historianGeorge Chauncey.

From 1878 to 1955 theThird Avenue Elran above the Bowery, further darkening its streets, populated largely by men. "It is filled with employment agencies, cheap clothing and knickknack stores, cheap moving-picture shows, cheap lodging-houses, cheap eating-houses, cheap saloons", writers inThe Century Magazinefound it in 1919. "Here, too, by the thousands come sailors on shore leave, – notice the 'studios' of the tattoo artists, – and here most in evidence are the 'down and outs'".[22]Prohibitioneliminated the Bowery's numerous saloons: One Mile House, the "stately old tavern... replaced by a cheap saloon"[23]at the southeast corner ofRivington Street,named for the battered milestone across the way,[24]where the politicians of the East Side had made informal arrangements for the city's governance,[25][26]was renovated for retail space in 1921, "obliterating all vestiges of its former appearance",The New York Timesreported. Restaurant supply stores were among the businesses that had come to the Bowery,[27]and many remain to this day.

Pressure for a new name after World War I came to naught[27]and in the 1920s and 1930s, it was an impoverished area. From the 1940s through the 1970s, the Bowery was New York City's "Skid Row,"notable for" Bowery Bums "(disaffectedalcoholicsandhomelesspersons).[28]Among those who wrote about Bowery personalities wasNew Yorkerstaff memberJoseph Mitchell(1908–1996). Aside from cheap clothing stores that catered to the derelict and down-and-out population of men, commercial activity along the Bowery became specialized in used restaurant supplies and lighting fixtures.[3]In the 1930s and again in 1947, there were efforts to change the name of the Bowery to something more "dignified and prosaic", such as "Fourth Avenue South".[29]

Revival and gentrification

edit

The vagrant population of the Bowery declined after the 1970s, in part because of the city's effort to disperse it.[3]Since the 1990s the entire Lower East Side has been reviving, andgentrificationhas contributed to ongoing change along the Bowery. In particular, the number ofhigh-risecondominiumsis growing.[30]In 2007, theSANAA-designed facility for theNew Museum of Contemporary Artopened betweenStantonand Prince Street.[31]In 2008,AvalonBay Communitiesopened Avalon Bowery Place, its first luxuryapartment complexon the Bowery; the structure includes aWhole Foods Market.Avalon Bowery Place was quickly followed with the development of Avalon Bowery Place II.[30]

The new development has not come without social costs.Michael Dominic's2001 documentarySunshine Hotelfollowed the lives of residents of one of the few remainingflophouses.Construction on theWyndhamGarden Hotel at 93 Bowery in the late Aughts destabilized neighboring building 128Hester Street(owned by the same man, William Su), and 60 tenants were thrown out of the building with the help of theDepartment of Buildings.[32]At least 75 tenants were displaced from 83 to 85 Bowery in January 2018 in frigid temperatures due to long-overdue repairs that needed to be made. Tenants accused the landlord of using this displacement to start renovating the buildings into a hotel,[33]and they went on a hunger strike.[34]

The Bowery fromHoustontoDelancey Streetstill serves as New York's principal market for restaurant equipment and from Delancey toGrandfor lamps.

The designation means thatproperty ownerswill have financial incentives to restore rather than demolish old buildings on the Bowery.[37]BAN was recognized for its preservation efforts with aVillage Awardfrom theGreenwich Village Society for Historic Preservationin 2013.[38]The historic district runs fromChatham SquaretoAstor Placeon both sides of the Bowery.[36]

Technically, Bowery ends at Fourth Street, where Cooper Square begins. Originally, Bowery ran to Union Square at Fourteenth Street, and served as the westernmost border for the historical Lower East Side. However, in 1849 wealthy residents of the Union Square area changed the name of their section of Bowery from St. Mark's Place to Fourteenth St. to Fourth Avenue, with Cooper Square (Fourth Street to St. Mark's Place) serving as a buffer zone, in an effort to dissociate it from the lowlier working-class and immigrant reputation of the Bowery (Anbinder 2001).

In the film, Brodie plans to fake his jump, but Beery's character forces him to do it for real. Brodie survives and wins Fay Wray's hand. An alternate account is supplied by the 1949 cartoonBowery Bugs,wherein Brodie is driven to his jump by Bugs Bunny. "

"Lionel Rogosin's 1957 documentaryOn the Boweryis a fascinating transitional work, a film that looks forward to the dispassionate, observational style that would come to be known as cinéma vérité (and which continues, in the work of Frederick Wiseman and others, to dominate contemporary documentary making).... A study of life on the Bowery at a time before art galleries and high-end restaurants — when the wine of choice was muscatel rather than Montrachet, and the Third Avenue El cast its shadow over a transient population of alcoholics, drug addicts and mental patients — Rogosin’s film strains to capture an unfiltered reality, to offer direct access to a world that had largely gone unrecorded.
