Wow this is my first time ever hearing of San Juan Hill in my life. Just goes to show you how much history is hidden and untold. Because I definitely should of learned of this in school.
it's important “to understand what's in the rear view mirror in order to propel us forward.” oh, how i wish everyone felt that way, especially considering current events surrounding education in fla and elsewhere. i'm so glad that this was in my home-feed today - i knew a bit about the settlements, but had never even heard of stillman house. what an important part of ny’s history!
Yep. That's usually how it is. Only interested in "the arts" to drive a modernist building project. That after seventy years looks pretty dated. Although dance and theater and music and visual art is something I do care about.
I use to live right across the street from San Juan Hill in Amsterdam houses back in the 1950s. I remember two of the kids who lived there. Their names was Rosetta and Leo. The good ole days!😊
When I was young, we lived in a railroad flat in Hell's Kitchen. All the families were evicted to make room for French Polyclinic. Later French Polyclinic was closed to build luxury housing.
