[U.S. Sanitary Commission, New York Agency], 823 Broadway, N...

Those interested in pointless trivia, might like to know that G. Gabrielson, whose business is pictured here at 821 Broadway, is also present in the historical record; and for doing that most "New Yorker" of things -- namely writing a letter to the editor of The New York Times (July 1870), regarding yet another war, this time in Europe. (I know the particulars; spare me -- please!) Here are a few curious facts, obvious to the keen observer of this picture: A tree was cut-down for clearance so anyone could more easily see from a distance that this was the location of the U.S. Sanitary Commission agency. It also made practical the suspension of an upper-floor flag pole; doubtlessly hastily added to give a more officious appearance to a structure that might otherwise have been a haberdashers location at one point. (This neighborhood wasn't exactly one that people would have normally associated with government offices, at that time. However, there was a war on and, jingoism aside, times being what they were relative to labor shortages and real-property rents...well, you get the idea. $$$ You take the space you can find, and best afford. I can only imagine how thrilled Mr. Gabrielson was with his new neighbors, too.) Peace!
