The Very First

This is the earliest photograph (daguerreotype) known of New York City. The pastoral scene below is a home in what is now the Upper West Side on old Bloomingdale Road, a continuation of Broadway, in the 1840s.


Since this blog is about New York City, its real estate and, therefore, its constant change, I thought this was a fitting start...unrecognizable evidence of a New York that no longer exists and a precursor of the city we live in today. Now, let's FindNY!
