NORTHEAST CORNER OF 83rd STREET AND FIFTH AVENUE.

purchased for $4,000. After occupying the building for almost twenty
years, the ladies who managed the institution erected a fine three-story
brick building, which cost about $30,000, and which fronted on 88th
Street near Fifth Avenue. In this institution, which could accommo¬
date about one hundred women, the inmates were trained in useful
occupations and given religious instruction.

On the block where squatters long held sway, between 90th and
91st Streets, is now the beautiful house and grounds of Mr. Andrew
Carnegie. So well have the architect and the landscape gardener
co-operated, that this mansion and its surroundings have already the
dignity and picturesqueness which age alone can give, although the
building is of comparatively recent date. It is the only house on all
Fifth Avenue which looks as if it might have been transplanted from
historic old England.

Mount Sinai Hospital, originally known as the "Jewish Hospital
in the City of New York," occupies the whole block on Fifth Avenue
between 100th and 101st Streets. The hospital, which was opened on
Fifth Avenue March 15, 1904, was founded in 1852 by a num¬
ber of benevolent Hebrews headed by Samson Simpson, who gave
land on 28th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues, where the
hospital remained until 1871 when it was moved to buildings on Lex¬
ington Avenue between 66th and 67th Streets. From there it moved
to its Fifth Avenue location.
