Concerning Foundations for Heavy Buildings in New York City
As an introduction to what follows, it would seem well to describe briefly the chief conditions met under the surface in the parts of New York City where the high buildings recently constructed and proposed are situated. To this end a map of the city below Twenty-third Street is given in Fig. 1, which shows the principal topographical features of that territory before it was built upon. The clotted portions near the shore line .show the made land, which it will be noticed is generally from one to two blocks in width. This map shows that Broad Street to above Exchange Place and Maiden Lane to Nassau Street occupy what were formerly inlets from the East River, and that there were ponds east and north of City Hall Square.
