Park Row (Manhattan)
Park Row is a street located in the Financial District, Civic Center, and Chinatown sections of the New York City borough of Manhattan. The street runs east-west, sometimes called north-south because the western end is nearer to Downtown Manhattan. At the north end of Park Row is the confluence of Bowery, East Broadway, St. James Place, Oliver Street, Mott Street, and Worth Street at Chatham Square. At the street's south end, Broadway, Vesey Street, Barclay Street, and Ann Street intersect.
==Early history==
In the late 18th century Eastern Post Road became the more important road connecting New York to Albany and New England. This section of the road was previously called Chatham Street〔, ''The New York Times'', June 22, 1893, p. 2. "About forty years ago the original Harris Cohen established a second-hand clothing store at the corner of Baxter Street and Park Row, (then Chatham Street.)"〕 and during the late 19th century it was nicknamed Newspaper Row, as most of New York City's newspapers located on the street to be close to the action at New York City Hall.〔Shepard, Richard F. ("SEEING THE EVOLUTION OF NEW YORK CITY THROUGH ARTISTS' EYES" ), ''The New York Times'', March 20, 1987. Accessed February 24, 2008. "There are murals of ''City Hall, Newspaper Row,'' or Park Row and Nassau Street, at the century's turn the home of New York newspaperdom."〕 Early in the 19th century most of the Manhattan portion of this road was suppressed, the Commons became City Hall Park, and the stub then known as Chatham Street was renamed Park Row.
Part of the southern section of the street was known as ''Printing House Square''. Today, a statue of Benjamin Franklin by Ernst Plassman stands there, in front of the One Pace Plaza and 41 Park Row buildings of Pace University, holding a copy of his ''Pennsylvania Gazette'', a reminder of what Park Row once was.
