From the Mirror:
"Exactly over the top of the second carriage in the picture appears the upper story of Tammany-hall, with its white-washed front, reminding us of 'an old acquaintance with a new face', while the driver and horses of the first carriage, with the aid of a friendly tree, have saved the artist the trouble of glazing a half dozen windows in the west wall of the Brick Meeting; which, whether visible or not, actually stands behind that very tree. Its elegant spire is sufficiently conspicuous over the roof-tree of Professor Chilton's four-story domicil [sic]; and it is but civil to add, that this gentleman is an operative chemist and druggist of no ordinary celebrity. Turner's grocery at the corner of Beekman-street, being a little shantee [sic], not much larger than the body of a hackney coach, is totally concealed by the heads of the horses before mentioned; a very convenient screen by the by, to prevent our witnessing any accidental violation of the constitution and by-laws of the temperance society." (emphasis in original)
To the right of Chilton's are, from left to right, the Chatham Hotel; a house of entertainment called Bachelor's Hall; Morse's City Coffee House; a low, two-story building, half of which is occupied by Thomas Lewis, boot- and shoemaker, and the other half by James Sweeny; the Theatre Hotel; the
Park Theatre; the
Sock and Buskin House hotel; the apothecary-store of Messrs. Place & Souillard; the porter-house of Messrs. M. &. E. Cronly; and a small section of Ira Clark's establishment.
