Greetings Listers! Can anyone suggest how I might find out who were the occupants of 44 Washington Square South, in the Village, in 1894. Our great-grandmother was listed as living there on her marriage cert, and I suspect she may have been employed as a maid/cook/nanny. I'd like to find out who potential employers may have been. Also, does anyone know if this particular location still exists today? Thanks in Advance! Bill

Try the NYC Business Directories for the years around 1894 and the 1895 NYC Police Census.

Bill- You're fortunate that this area is well preserved and the building still stands today. The address of 44 Washington Square South is located within the center of NYU-New York University. The building is presently used as The Catholic Center of NYU. However, it is not listed as a official University owned building. Possibly owned by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese? Much of the area surrounding Washington Square is presently owned by NYU and contains buildings with historical significance. An example: Around the corner from Washington Square South is "The Brown Building" located on 23-29 "Washington Place." This is the site of the famous "Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire" of 1911. I believe that NYU now owns this building? Within walking distance from Washington Square is The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary" also of historical significance(rebuilt circa 1864?). Re: the 1894 address of "44 Washington Square South"- 1)Map of NYU Campus with numbered Street Index: nyu.edu/v40extras/nyumap.pdf#search='44%20washington%20square' 2)If you can't access this file directly try the NYU website. I'm certain that the NYU Library or the University's history/architecture departments have info on this building. 3)For locating current street addresses(with present ownership)in NYC try this website: http://uspdr.com/consumer/streetname.asp (for Washington Square click on West Village) However, I was not able to locate 44 Washington Sq.South. Rather nearby buildings. Check to see if can search by ownership(Catholic Church?). susan n.j. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 7:37 PM Subject: [IRISH-NYC] Resident of 44 Washington Square South > Greetings Listers! > Can anyone suggest how I might find out who were the occupants of 44 > Washington Square South, in the Village, in 1894.
