Fraunce's Tavern, Broad and Pearl Streets, New York: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph captures the exterior of Fraunce's Tavern, located at the corner of Broad and Pearl Streets in New York City, between 1890 and 1906. The image, a silver gelatin glass transparency, offers a glimpse into the rich history of this iconic establishment, which has played a significant role in the city's cultural and political landscape for over two centuries. Fraunce's Tavern, also known as the "Birthplace of American Patriotism," is renowned for its historical significance as the site where the Declaration of Independence was read aloud to the public for the first time on July 9, 1776. The tavern, which was originally built in 1719, has served various functions over the years, including as a British military headquarters, a hospital during the Revolutionary War, and a private residence before being restored as a museum and public house in the late 19th century. The photograph reveals the tavern's simple yet elegant design, with its ornate glass windows, brick facade, and wooden signboard bearing the establishment's name. The image also captures the bustling street scene, with people and carriages passing by, adding to the sense of activity and energy that characterized New York City during this period. This photograph, from the collections of the Library of Congress, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Fraunce's Tavern and its role in shaping the history of New York City and the United States. The image, created by an unknown photographer, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our historical landmarks and the stories they hold.
