Day 443

Victory Tabernacle

March 17th, 2013

Built in 1895-96, this was once the Coachmen's Union League Society of New York City. According to the AIA Guide to New York City: "Moorish-Venetian? Limestone frippery? It was built to sell life insurance to residents of this newly opened 'suburb' of Harlem, particularly to those living in the King Model Houses" (a.k.a. Strivers' Row).

I'm walking every street in New York City.

This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
