What was located at the site of Madison Square Garden in 1850?
Upvote:9
Looks like there was some buildings but a lot of empty space, at least a couple of years later. The New York Public Library has fire insurance and property maps from the city and here is the block from 32nd to the North and it shows a mix of things, but mostly what looks like open lots.
If you want, you may be able to find some of the buildings around there by searching in City Directories from the years around it.
