The Diary of George Templeton Strong, Edited by Allan Nevins and Milton Halsey Thomas
So George was interested enough in the Wide-Awakes spectacle to rent a 2nd story window over Tiffany & Co. where he and Mrs. Strong, Annie Leavenworth, and somebody named Cameron could watch the parade in comfort. Tiffany at that time was not at the location where Holly Golightly went for breakfast. That was on 5th Avenue at 57th St.
In 1860 Tiffany was located at 550 Broadway. Heres a photo from the 1850s.
Heres what it looks like today. (Click on the top picture on the side window.)
Wow, that was really cool. Poor George. I agree with him about the Royal Visit nonsense. This is America, dangit!
Bttt.
