Gotham's Greater Rotten Row

Excerpt from Gotham's Greater Rotten Row: Peter B. Sweeny's Project for a Splendid Public Pleasure Ground for Lovers of the Horse and the Horse Himself; A Grand Terrace on the West Side This territory, most of it unimproved at present and some that must be filled in before it would meet the requirements of Mr. Sweeny's scheme, is a mile and a quarter in length and from three hundred to four hundred feet wide. When built up as intended it would make a magnificent terrace, with a driveway in each direction, giving two and one-half miles of the finest equestrian promenade in existence.
