This is great fun; I live just around the corner from the house she locates on page 8 as being on the south side of 9th Street between University Place and 5th Avenue. Sadly her block was torn down in the mid-20th century to build the Brevoort apartment complex, but most of the townhouses across the street still stand - I wonder which was whose? Here's an old lithograph of the area: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bc/Union_Square_NY_Bachmann_1849.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bc/Union_Squ... - University Place is the broad street leading up (i.e. south) from the right side of the Union Square, and 9th Street is just this side of Washington Square, the treed rectangle at the right. One curiosity: the date is given as 1849 and on page 17 she says she walks to the House of Refuge on Madison Square; but that was burned down in 1839. Was it still partially standing?
