St. John's Park

St. John's Park was a 19th century park, and the neighborhood of townhouses around it, in what is now the Tribeca neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City. The square was bounded by Varick Street, Laight Street, Hudson Street and Beach Street,〔Bradley, et al. (1992), p.12. Quote" An impressive park, first known as Hudson Square and later as St. John's Park, provided a suitable setting for the new church and, as a private enclave, prompted the development of a refined residential neighborhood surrounding it. (The location of the park corresponds to what is now the Holland Tunnel Exit Plaza.)"〕 now also known for that block as Ericsson Place.〔("20 Ericsson Place" ) and ("20 Beach Street" ) on the New York City Geographic Information System map〕 Although the name "St. John's Park" is still is use, it is no longer a park and is inaccessible to the public.〔
The land was part of a plantation owned by an early settler to New Netherland and was later owned by the English crown, which deeded it to Trinity Church. The church built St. John's Chapel and laid out "Hudson Square", creating New York City's first development of townhouses around a private park. By 1827 the neighborhood had become known as "St. John's Park" and remained fashionable until about 1850. In 1866 it was sold to the Cornelius Vanderbilt's Hudson River Railway Company and became the location of St. John's Park Freight Depot, the railroad's southern terminus. The terminal was demolished in 1927 to allow construction of exits from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's Holland Tunnel.
==Early history==
The land on which the square sits was originally part of Lispernard Meadows,〔"Meadows" here is used in the sense of "a low-lying piece of grassland, often boggy and near a river." ("Meadow" ) on the ''Free Dictionary'', citing ''Collins English Dictionary'' (2003)〕 a "swampy wetland" of "upland and salt marsh"〔Mattera, John. ("Daily Plant: A Park of the Past" ) on the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation website (October 20, 2005)〕〔 which was part of a larger farmstead granted to Dutch immigrant Roelof Jansen in 1636 by New Amsterdam governor Wouter van Twiller.〔 Jansen died just a year later, and left the land to his widow, Anneke Jans.〔 A contemporary manuscript describes the earliest development of the land in 1639, stating the "plantation () new and consist() of recently cleared land (had ) a tobacco house and () fenced."〔 Jans's claim was renewed when Peter Stuyvesant granted her a patent in 1654.〔
When Jans died in 1663, her will stipulated that the land should be liquidated, with the proceeds going to the children from her first marriage. The heirs sold the property in March 1670 to Francis Lovelace, the Royal Governor of the colony, but he lost it when the Dutch reclaimed New Amsterdam in 1672. England recaptured the territory in 1674, and New York governor Edmund Andros claimed the land for the Duke of York.〔("Farms 8-12, 21, 41, (1639 Manatus Map):21: Farm of Domine Everardus Bogardus" ) on Early Manhattan History website. Quote: "Anneke Jans died at Albany. She was dead by 21 June 1663 when here heirs sold the land too Dirk Wesselsxxv. It does not seem that the sale was completed as on 9 March 1671, the heirs of Anneke Jans made a deed of the property to Francis Lovelace, the royal governor, thus vest this property to the crown.xxvi This property stayed in possession of the crown until 23 November 1705, when Edward, Viscount Cornbury, then captain-general and governor of the Province of New York, acting for Queen Anne, granted the Domine’s Bouwery to Trinity Church."〕 The parcel was leased to various parties for the next quarter of a century.
