- Let's take a walk to some of my favorite sites in NYC and see what they looked like in years past. We'll stop and compare what we see today with one hundred years ago, two hundred years ago, and even three hundred and fifty years ago.

When I take my customers on historic walking tours I always carry along with me prints of what it looked like during the time we're discussing. It helps us imagine we are back in the past ourselves.
Here's a video presentation of those places that I hope will transport you to the past with me, imagining what NYC looked like long ago.

If you love learning about the past, you might enjoy my book about Theodosia Burr, daughter of Aaron Burr and the first fully and formally educated woman of her time, the 1790s. It's also all about life in NYC in the 1790s. If you'd like a signed, personalized copy, email me at contact@patriottoursnyc.com. Or, you can get it on Amazon: amzn.to/2Ziy7sc
I hope to see you on a tour here in NYC one day. But until then, I'll see you here next time!

Thank you for all your passion and hard work on this. Especially thank you for the prints you found of Pearl St. in the early 1660s. My eighth-great-grandfather, Issac Kip, had a house there when he came from The Netherlands, and I've been on that street many times, wondering what it must have looked like. I also lived at 144th and Convent Ave for three years, and visited the Hamilton Grange several times. Another eighth-great grandfather, Claude Delemater, was a French Huguenot who was an original patent holder in New Haarlem before the English came. Yes, his son married Kip's daughter. Or maybe it was the other way around. I too love imagining how things would have looked when they were built.
I enjoyed this historical presentation very much! Thank you!
this is amazing. i live in hamilton, ontario, but i consider myself a new yorker, because its the greatest city in the world. but i have two regrets that the penn center and the singer building were destroyed, just terrible
This was awesome you're terrific thank you I appreciate your upload God bless.
love stories of nyc. unfortunately not many channels do these kind of videos. we need more old pics :) its just so pity that so many old buildings were replaced. new york looked awesome in the old times.
My father's father arrived at Ellis Island in 1911 (from northern Italy). He went to work at the original Elysée at #1 E. 56th Street. He got married in 1917 to an Italian woman. The two of them left NYC in 1922 when they bought a farm in New Jersey, which became very successful. They were divorced around 1930 or so, and he married my grandmother in 1938.
Anyway I have a good size collection of NYC postcards, and I may have the same postcard of Fraunces Tavern, but all my postcards are in storage right now. I have an excellent book on the landmarks of New York, and I thought I read that the Fraunces Tavern we know today is basically a re-creation, but I don't remember why. From what I remember, Federal Hall was also known as the Sub Treasury building. But I don't remember any of the details. Your picture of Hamilton Grange was beautiful. Thanks for the interesting tour.
Thank you for posting! My paternal grandfather arrived from Italy in 1915, also through Ellis Island. Frances Tavern today is a reproduction. I have a full video about it here on my channel. Federal Hall, when it was the Customs House, was the sub treasury during the Civil War. Kind regards!
@@MrsQHistory Thanks for your reply.
Nay, you're not crazy thinking or dreaming about old New York...means you're passionate .....
Thanks again for these great videos
GREAT video...I love it..Looking at the old then the new is great..I appreciate all your work..
I really love this tour. Thank you so much for doing these!
It's a fantastic tour Mrs Q! Keep doing them. I had no idea how small that souther tip of Manhattan really was back then. The pictures are a great way to tell a story
Thank you!
As usual, a magnificent job. I know the city is going to the dogs, but every video makes me sorry I didn't do more when I was there.
Thankyou for taking me back in time!❤
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you!
Most lots in Manhattan, especially in the southern half of the island, have had several buildings sitting on them over the years.
It’s taking me a few times to watch your colonial tours to vision the transformation of colonial New York to present. Excellent job.. It’s just like going back in time and very relaxing.
Interesting and very well documented video about New York history.
fun tour thank you
Great work!
I have the original hand written marriage agreement from my GG grandparents from Ireland 1865. They revived Aug 1865 & Lincoln’s death was still big news! My Great grandfather was a NY City Fireman late 1800’s to early 1900’s. My Grandmother & her siblings were all born in NY city.
Just discovered this. Very cool.
Francis tavern has the bottom windows buried and raised entrance ways, you can tell it was a mud flood building and partially buried look at the bottom windows they are half way underground
Good stuff!
Thank you!
the christmas carol ghost lady's here nice effect with the black light on ur mug lolol
Well done!
In the November 1845 edition of the Whig Journal, Walt Whitman wrote a brief essay on pages 536, 537, and 538, titled, "Tear Down and Build Over Again." It addresses the demolition of NYC's historical and cultural landmarks. (Just in case you haven't read it lately.) Your approach is sincerely appreciated!
I did not know about this. Thank you for sharing it with me!
This is an amazing presentation , so professional and easy to watch & understand. I visited NY city twice, first in 1969 and secondly in 2001 just 5 months before the twin towers came down. Already the skyline has changed . What will it be like 100 years from now I wonder 🤔🤗. Thank you for this beautiful video. ❤
Thank you!
I love researching these old Tartarian buildings
duh ....wrong thats NY
A lovely feature presentation on a subject endlessly fascinating. Its amazing that such a hideous city used to be so beautiful up until 1880!
You are such a lovely lady!
Wow, have you ever been to Fraunces tavern? I'm surprised that you didn't know very very little of the original building is left, as it has seen several major fires in its existence. What you see today is not much older than the 1860's
I have been there hundreds of times and work as a costumed guide there. The current renovation is from the early 1900s. You can learn about the building's history at Frauncestavernmuseum.org.
@@MrsQHistory yes, I've been there. I was just surprised you made it sound like it was the original building. The idea that it's the oldest building in New York is tourist propaganda
In 1975, the Puerto Rican revolutionary group FALN, bombed Fraunces Tavern killing and maiming innocent people, just to bring attention to their cause of freeing Puerto Rico.
😎❤️🌹
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!
At around 25:00, you mentioned that the current NYSE building was completed in 1705. You must have meant 1905.
I did, thank you!

New York è una città fantastica, peccato però che molti dei suoi antichi edifici siano andati distrutti, sarebbe stato più interessante costruire il nuovo non al posto dell' antico. Cmq è sempre bella new york
Grazie!
Is it VEEZEY street or VESSEY street the way you pronounce it in your other video?
They are interchangeable. NYers say VEEZEY but VESSEY is, I think, correct.
@@MrsQHistory I've always called it Vessey and I've heard a lot of New Yorkers say it that way, when I first learned about it. But then I will hear people say VEEZEY and began to question myself.
Long ago they cared about the city the people and health.
Now its rotting to be the worst and ugliest citys ever made.
Look for the utters cows
Well, she's a city girl.
Wow, she looks ghostly.
I have to thank the mud flood conspiracy theorists for opening my eyes to certain things.
Not sure why that made me giggle. Thanks.
@@simonestreeter1518 I guess it must be funny.
lolol besides ur boring i do like the video footage you take
Good lord, if you speak anything like the way you write, I would shudder at the thought of listening to you for more than about five minutes.
i shudder in less than 5 secs at ur face@@simonestreeter1518
