Franklin Square (Manhattan)

Franklin Square was a square in Manhattan on the intersection of Pearl, Dover and Cherry Streets. The elevated Manhattan Railway, built in 1877–1878, ran over Franklin Square, and a station was built there. On its west side were the buildings of Harper's Publishing House.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NYPL Digital Gallery )〕 The station and square were demolished in 1950, replaced with the Franklin Square Bridge, part of the Manhattan access to Brooklyn Bridge. At the same time, the block of Cherry Street nearest the square was razed and replaced with the Alfred E. Smith Houses.
The square was originally land owned by one Walter Franklin, a highly successful late 18th century merchant,〔Franklin's daughter Maria married DeWitt Clinton. He was also the uncle of Judge Walter Franklin and the great-uncle of Walter S. Franklin.〕 where he kept a mansion with surrounding gardens. The house itself, known as the Samuel Osgood House, was used by George Washington as his residence the first year of his presidency.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Washington's Presidential Mansion )〕 The house was demolished in 1856.
In honor of Washington, the space was later named "St. George's Square". The space was then renamed Franklin Square in 1817, officially in honor of Benjamin Franklin:
