Christopher,  Was that guy's name really DIAPER???  Was he inventor of
the "nappy" that we all have fond remembrance of?  Inquiring minds REALLY
want to know.  Mostly because I feel so damn crappy with a cold I don't
have anything else to do.  Ruth

Where was this library from 1754-1917, and why did it move?



Wall & Nassau (the original City Hall) where it served as the Library of
Congress
various other locations
Broadway and Leonard, designed by Frederick Diaper (where it exhibited the
"Aztec Children, wonders of Central America, adults 25 cents, children half
price"
University Place and 11th 1856-1937
53 East 79th 1937 to present

It moved because it clientele moved, as business invadedformerly
residential districts.

Best,  Christopher Gray
