Thompson Street Bar Photo: Jacob Riis called this Thompson Street joint “a downtown morgue.” (Jacob Riis. Museum of City of New York [90.13.4.165]) | The Bowery Photo: The Bowery, under the shadow of the elevated train tracks, bustled at night with colored lights and cane-swirling barkers in places such as the Lyceum Concert Garden. The joint then featured a minstrel show and cake walk. (The New Metropolis by E. Idell Zeisloft (1899) p. 518.) | TR at desk Photo: Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), sworn in as police commissioner on May 6, 1895, soon decided to try to enforce every law on the books and every rule for police conduct. “New York has never been so shocked and surprised in all its two hundred and fifty years of existence,” commented one observer. (Theodore Roosevelt Collection, Harvard College Library (560.22-001)) |
