Astor Place
Astor Place, named from John Jacob Astor who arrived in New York in 1783 and became the richest person in the United States at that time, was the site of the Astor Place Opera House on the corner of East 8th Street which was built to be a fashionable theater in 1847, it was the site of the Astor Place Riot of May 10, 1849. Anti-British feelings were running so high among New York's Irish at the height of the potato famine that they found an outlet in the rivalry between actors Edwin Forrest and the English William Charles Macready. The appearance onstage of the Englishman in Macbeth occasioned so violent a protest in the streets that the police overreacted and fired into the crowd. At least eighteen died and hundreds were injured. The theater itself never recovered from the associations and was razed in the 1860's.

Colonnade Row
The grandest speculative row houses to date in New York City, these houses were built for the mercantile elite, miles away from their places of work. Unlike the typical row house, this group is not brick, it is not a box with a door, and it doesn't have an exterior stoop or dormer windows. Instead, it is a New York version of Regent's Park in London, with columns built by Sing Sing prisoners. / Marble Corinthian columns front this grand sweep of four Greek Revival mansions (originally nine) constructed in 1833, with stonework by Sing Sing penitentiary prisoners. In their time these once-elegant homes served as residences to millionaires John Jacob Astor and Cornelius Vanderbilt until they moved uptown. Today three houses are occupied on street level by restaurants, while the northernmost building houses the Astor Place Theatre and the Blue Man Group.
