Additional Details

John Daniel Crimmins (1844-1917) was a prominent New York excavating and paving contractor, and one of the city's most prominent Irish-American citizens. He took over his father's contracting business in 1873 and expanded it rapidly; at its peak, he employed as many as 12,000 men. Each property in this volume is described by size and location, and is accompanied by a plat-style map. Additional information includes the names of the previous owners, the purchase price, the annual valuations, taxes paid, form in which mortgaged, persons to whom rented and at what price, and to whom eventually sold or transferred. An interesting record of the real estate holdings of a major player at the turn of the century.
