New York City, 1866. Surveyor's Certificate regarding enclosing parks on 4th Avenue between 38th Street and 40th Street in Manhattan, New York, filled out by Surveyor Joseph Smith. This piece describes the work, such as the stone foundations and railings, along with the corresponding prices given by contractor John Donell. This location in Manhattan no longer has a park, and must have been developed in the years following this survey. This piece provides a fascinating glimpse into New York City's past, before skyscrapers and modern developments, when there were more open spaces and parks. Rare.
