    3. Hi, Does anyone know what might have been located at 39th and 9th back in 1847. If you've read my Emigrant Savings Bank postings, I have info that a Peter Magee/McGee left that as a contact address. I assume there would be four corners to 39th and 9th and therefore four establishments, either homes, boarding houses or businesses. Does anyone know how I might find out? Secondly, I've read that this area was known as Hell's Kitchen and that it was a pretty rough neighbourhood. A lot of the incidences of violence mentioned in my readings seem to have happened closer to the 1880's. Was it also that rough back in 1847? Thanks, Clare Whitney
