Madison Sq. Garden -- N.Y. (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Dendroica cerulea said:
    Presumably this is the second Madison Square Garden, which opened in 1890. The colonnade looks similar to the one in the Wikipedia illustration. Unlike the current building with that name, this one was actually close to Madison Square.
  • Wystan said:
    Those appear to be political posters, stuck onto the columns with adhesive tape. But had adhesive tape been invented by 1913? And can anyone make out the words -- or recognize the candidate's photo?
  • Arden said:
    Dendroica cerulea: thank you for the information about Madison Square Garden. We will add some of it to the image description.
  • B-59 said:
    The posters say "FOR CONTROLLER WM. A. PRENDERGAST". William A. Prendergast was controller of the city of New York. See u.o. New-York tribune., October 17, 1909, Image 17 New-York tribune., October 27, 1913, Page 3

Madison Square Garden this week will re-echo with neighs and praise (LOC)

    based on the two top photos, I hope the ASPCA attended that event

Arranging Madison - Sq. Garden for Willard - Moran [fight?], 3/25/16 (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Joe Schumacher said:
    Jess Willard successfully defended the heavyweight championship against Frank Moran on 25 March 1916. There's some film footage of the fight that's been put into a news reel format on YouTube.
  • Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
    Amazing! Thank you jschumacher for finding this footage. Beginning of the video shows off the spectacular architecture of the 1890 structure built by architect Stanford White.
