No. 9 updated!
I've updated No. 9 Duane Street at last!
I've been neglecting the site for far too long; my schedule kept getting in the way. Still, I was sitting on some very interesting bits of research and finally decided to knuckle down and get them posted.
In particular, Sampler's gone through and compiled some stats from the 1900 federal census (I've put up the data on nationalities, but still need to process the occupation and age info).
Also, whatever became of the Elizabeth Home for Girls (the girls' lodging house) has long been a mystery for me...I had some guesses from tiny clues sprinkled here and there in news articles and the like, but no real confirmation. But now it's official: not only is the building still standing, it's recently been declared a landmark! That makes three of the circa-1899 LHs that still exist, two of which are landmarks to boot.

I really should get up there at some point...especially while the weather's still good for lots of outdoor walking. I can't believe how affordable those tickets are.
If you ever do happen to wander down that way...and happen to have a camera with you...
