> 
> "I have attended more meetings in New York than in all the other cities combined."
> `Abdu’l-Bahá , Dec. 3, 1912 at the Kinney home (see The Promulgation of Universal
> Peace, p. 460).
> 
> “I have stayed a long time with you in New York. My stay in other towns has not been a
> tenth as long.” `Abdu’l-Bahá , Dec. 2, 1912 (Mahmud’s Diary p. 418)
> 
> The year 2012 marked the Centennial of `Abdu’l-Bahá ’s visit to the United States and
> Canada, and Bahá 'ı́s the world over were moved to their core as they relived those
> glorious days in 1912, thanks to the numerous books, articles and presentations
> offered online and at various celebrations honoring the occasion.
> 
> Many wanted to know: What did `Abdu’l-Bahá see with His blessed eyes? What
> sounds reached His ears? What were His private thoughts as he surveyed the vast
> landscapes and urban jungles of America? As researchers continue their work of
> uncovering new sources and stories about those fateful days, the dream of
> recreating His visit in intimate detail draws closer to reality.
> 
> In June of 1999, I purchased a copy of an old atlas (for $40) with the title, Miniature
> Atlas of the Borough of Manhattan in One Volume : 1912 (NY: E. Belcher Hyde, 1912;
> 472 pages), and when it arrived in the mail, I was delighted by what I had found:
> Every city block in Manhattan was laid out in extraordinary detail, offering a 1912
> snapshot of the physical structure of the urban landscape from Battery Park at the
> southern tip of Manhattan to the Harlem River to the north. Details include
> infrastructure such as bridges, rail lines, transit stations, piers, as well as every
> skyscraper, building, house, and man-made structure on the island (for a more
> complete description of the book, see Note 1 in the Addendum).
> 
> The work of utilizing this resource is a work in progress: As I seek to locate each site
> visited by `Abdu’l-Bahá in Manhattan, I’ve discovered some inaccuracies in the
> historical record (noted by asterisks*; see Addendum notes). I’ve been unable to gind
> the address of Hooper and Gertrude Harris’s home on West 95th Street (see #37 and
> note 24 below), and I’m likely to be missing other locations He visited. I would
> particularly like to know more about the specigic modes of transportation that
> `Abdu’l-Bahá used to move from one location to another.
> 
> It is the view of this researcher that every spot graced by the presence of `Abdu’l-
> Bahá is blessed.
> 
> I’ve attached a JPG Qile, a Rand McNally map of Manhattan from 1911, with blue dots
> marking all of the locations listed below (see 1912_Manhattan_JPG_with_locations.JPG;
> use the zoom feature for greater detail). Thanks to my brother, Craig Asplund for his
> terriQic help on this very useful small-scale map.
> The following image from the Miniature Atlas will help you interpret the plat map

> Places visited by `Abdu’l-Bahá in 1912:
> Beginning with the piers of the White Star Line, followed by sites in Manhattan
> from South to North.    *Annotations & arrows in red*

> 2. Hoboken ferry / The 23rd Street Station: `Abdu’l-Bahá took this ferry to and
> from New Jersey on at least a few occasions. 2
> 3. Liberty Street Station?2
> Juliet Thompson’s description of the Master ginally returning to New York City after
> his journey to the Pacigic coast and back indicates that `Abdu’l-Bahá may have, at
> some time during his stays in Manhattan, taken the ferry from New Jersey to the
> Liberty Street Station, or from this station to New Jersey (see Diary of Juliet
> Thompson, p. 362). 2

> 1912 Catalogue, by New York University:
> “The school occupies the eighth and ninth gloors of the University Building, Washington Square East,
> New York City. The entrance to the elevators is on Waverly Place. The building is easily reached from
> any section of Greater New York by Subway (Astor Place Station), Sixth or Third Avenue Elevated,
> Hudson River tunnel or surface lines, all of which are within a few minutes' walk.
> The School's location in the heart of the business section of New York City and its close connections
> with leading commercial and ginancial houses enable it to secure the services of many successful men
> of affairs as instructors and lecturers.
> “The University has opened a Brooklyn branch of the School of Commerce, Accounts and Finance in
> the Eagle Building, at Washington and Johnson Streets, Brooklyn (near Borough Hall). Long Island
> students taking any of the regular courses of the School will be required to enter in the Brooklyn
> division. Such students may take special courses offered in the Washington Square Building only.”

> another location instead of Washington Square?]

> Addendum and Notes:
> 
> 1. The 1912 Atlas:
> George Glazer Gallery offers the following description of the 1912 Atlas:
> 
> “Miniature Atlas of the Borough of Manhattan in One Volume”
> E. Belcher Hyde, New York: 1912
> Color printed plat maps
> 9.75 x 6.5 inches closed, overall
> Quarto, red cloth
> 
> “Comprehensive street atlas of Manhattan with 472 pages of detailed plat maps by E.
> Belcher Hyde, which created maps for the gire insurance industry. The degree of
> detail and specigicity of these maps allowed the insurance companies to estimate the
> liability of certain properties because they showed every structure in an area, its
> building materials and size, its function, and other pertinent information about the
> street and surroundings. The company published maps from the 1890s to at least
> 1991, of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island.”
> 
> “An index is provided listing all streets and the pages corresponding to them.
> Includes a sectional map of Manhattan. Enough detail is provided to distinguish
> different buildings from each other, all lots being numbered along with house
> numbers, dimensions, number of stories and basement, and block number. The
> maps are current as of March 13th, 1912. Buildings that are large or of great
> importance are named.”
> 
> “Buildings, streets, subways and city infrastructure are labeled with symbols of
> interest to the insurance industry. These show if the building is made of brick, stone,
> iron or frame building, gireproof steel or a combination such as half brick and half
> frame or frame building with brick front. Other symbols point out buildings with
> stores on the girst gloor, saloons or hotels with liquor licenses, stables, sheds, old
> buildings, greenhouses and foundations. Infrastructure symbols show opened and
> unopened streets, water mains with dimensions, sewer with manholes and
> dimensions, street dimensions, hydrants and the elevations of streets above high
> tide. Transportation lines are also indicated: steam railroads, elevated railroads,
> trolley lines and interborough rapid transit.”
> 
> 2. Liberty Street Station and the 23rd Street Station (#2, 3):
> Diary of Juliet Thompson p. 362:
> “The Master is here again! I met him at the boat last Monday, November 11. I met Him
> alone. And this is how that happened. At noon on November 11, Mirza Ali Akbar
> arrived from Washington to Qind living quarters for the Master and the Persians…. The
> Master was to come at ten that night and we thought we had plenty of time to notify
> the friends so that they could meet His ferryboat, but later another wire came to our
> house, relayed to me through Mamma and Mr Mills at Mrs Champney's (and luckily
> catching me there), saying that the Master would arrive at eight. Through a series of
> accidents, Mr Mills' chauffeur landed us Qirst somewhere in New Jersey and then at the
> Liberty Street station, and there was no time to telephone anybody.
> 
> "This will be very bad," said Mirza 'Ali-Akbar, but we couldn't help it.
> 
> “We had accomplished everything else, had rented again the dear house on Seventy-
> Eighth Street (Mrs Champney's) and found extra rooms for some of the Persians.
> 
> “Now, Mirza 'Ali-Akbar insisted on my taking Mr Mills' car and going at breakneck
> speed to the Twenty-Third Street station to try to meet the Master there, if He should
> come that way, while he himself waited at Liberty Street.
> 
> “I reached Twenty-Third Street just in time. The ferryboat was approaching and very
> close to the dock. Standing at the end of the pier, I saw it with its chain of lights. I saw
> Dr Farid. Then the Master rose from a seat on the deck and entered the brightly lit
> cabin.
> 
> “Soon He came toward me down the gangplank.
> 
> "’Ah, Juliet,’ He said, taking my hand in His and drawing me along with Him, so that I
> walked beside Him. But He didn't invite me to drive to His house with Him. Instead, He
> sent me back after Mirza 'Ali-Akbar -- Dr Baghdadi and Mirza Mahmud going with me.
> We returned all together to Seventy-Eighth Street.
> 
> “Oh, to see Him in that house again, sitting in His old corner in the English basement,
> the corner in the bay window!”
> 
> 3. Manhattan Bridge (#4):
> 
> July 12, Friday: Mahmud writes about `Abdu’l-Bahá ’s visit to the home of Mrs.
> Newton and Mrs. Rivers in Brooklyn and ginishes with the following (p. 168): “While
> the carriage was in motion it felt less hot but the long distance and the exceedingly hot
> weather took their toll on `Abdu’l-Bahá. The carriage crossed the Hudson River [he
> means the East River], passing through the length of the city, which was bedecked
> with gas and electric lamps of red, yellow and green and colorful advertisements along
> its wide streets and in the shops [no doubt along Broadway]. The light emanating
> from them threw a luster on the greatness of this mighty century. Then the carriage
> reached home.”
> 
> Note that in 1912 there was no bridge over the Hudson River from New York City.
> Mahmud’s description and the clear imperative of taking the fastest route from
> Brooklyn to Manhattan on account of the heat indicates that the bridge to which
> Mahmud referred was Manhattan Bridge. He likely crossed that bridge on His way
> to the home of Howard MacNutt and on other excursions to Brooklyn.
> 
> 4. New York University (#6):
> 32 Waverly Place, New York, NY 10003 (not “31 Waverly Place” as some histories
> suggest) across from Washington Square.
> See notes below the map image for question about location of `Abdu’l-Bahá ’s talk.
> 
> 5. Metropolitan Temple for Aggressive Christianity (#9):
> Seventh Avenue and West 14th Street with ofgices at “50 7th Avenue”
> This church was also known as the “Church of the Open Door” according to the
> Directory of Social and Health Agencies of New York City, Volume 23 (Welfare Council
> of New York City, p. 436), and by the New York Charities Directory, 1914.
> Juliet Thompson refers to the church as “Church of the Open Door” in her diary on
> page 297 (1983 Kalimat edition).
> On Monday, May 20, `Abdu’l-Bahá spoke here at a Woman's suffrage meeting; He
> arrived in Mill's automobile. He also spoke on Tuesday, May 28.
> See New York Times, June 1: “Church Listing” shows “EDWARD KINNEY, organist”,

> that the pastor of the church was Arthur Bruce Moss.
> 
> 6. Home of Alexander and Marjorie Morten (#11):
> 141 East 21st Street near Gramercy Park
> Address congirmed in the New York Times and 1912 & 1913 NYC directories.
> See New York Times: Sept. 20, 1910: “In the Real Estate Field :

> 7. Pennsylvania Railroad Station (#12)?
> The only histories (not Bahá 'ı́) discovered recently indicate that travelers left New
> York City for Washington D. C. from Penn Station, thence through the submarine
> tunnel under the Hudson River. Another route was to take the ferry to New Jersey,
> then the Royal Blue Line train leaving Jersey City. According to Mahmud, `Abdu’l-
> Bahá left from Grand Central Station, even admiring the building before departure.
> Though there is no known evidence to date that `Abdu’l-Bahá departed from or
> arrived at the Penn Station, it is not unreasonable to speculate that He did so.
> 
> 8. Gertrude Käsebier's Studio (#13):
> 315 Fifth Avenue
> June 20, Thursday, `Abdu’l-Bahá agreed to a photographic session at the renowned
> studio. He approved and chose the proofs He liked.
> See “Who’s Who in America, 1912,” p. 1138: Before 1909, Gertrude K. was “forced to
> move out of her 273 Fifth Avenue studio” to relocate at 315 Fifth Avenue.
> The 1912 & 1913 New York City Directories list the following: “Kasebier, Gertrude

> See New York Times, Nov. 24, 1912: City Social Notes
> “Minerva, Mrs. Mary Stokes MacNutt, President, will give a breakfast and
> entertainment to-morrow at 1 o’clock at the Waldorf. The subject of the day will be
> ‘A Bit of Old and New China.” Mrs. Edward B. Jenkins will have charge of the

> Also see New York Times, Feb. 23, 1913:

> 
> And see New York Times, Feb. 1, 1914:
> “For sixteen years Minerva Club has been guided through the tortuous ways of club
> politics by the founder and President, Mrs. Howard MacNutt. During that time there
> have been only small difgiculties to be straightened out, only a few little
> disagreements which were easily adjusted. But now a breach is threatened, and
> friends of Minerva are sincerely sorry. This is one of the most conservative and
> dignigied of the women’s clubs in the city, and invitations to its affairs are always
> welcomed and accepted. Last Monday at the business meeting held in the Waldorf
> there was a tempestuous session, and the report of the Nominating Committee was
> received with applause mixed with sighs. After the business was transacted there
> were little knots of women to be seen all through the corridors, discussing the
> meeting with the same mysterious air that men assume when they are busy electing
> some one to ofgice. According to the constitution of the club there must be two
> candidates for ofgice at the biennial elections. These are the nominees: For
> President – Mrs. Howard MacNutt and Mrs. Katherine Martin; for First Vice
> President – Mrs. Simon Baruch and Mrs. A. E. Fish; for Second Vice President – Mrs.
> Frank Peteler and Mrs. J. E. Yawger; for Recording Secretary – Mrs. R. F. Cartwright
> and Mrs. Darwin W. Truss; for Corresponding Secretary – Mrs. James McCullough
> and Mrs. W. W. Beals; for Treasurer – Mrs. John B. Corbin and Mrs. E. B. Jenks – and
> Mrs. Jenks says that Mrs. Corbin is one of her best friends, and she, Mrs. Jenks, would
> much prefer to have Mrs. Corbin have the ofgice and the honor. For the Board of
> Managers – Mrs. Horace Stokes,…
> The afternoon closed with an informal social hour, those in attendance including
> Mrs. MacNutt, gowned in black velvet and old lace, and carrying a huge bouquet of
> Killarney roses…”

> “When He arrived at the station, `Abdu'l-Bahá walked around the building, praising its
