Hell's Kitchen History

Mary Clark
Introduction

Hell's Kitchen ...more than a neighborhood...it's a state of mind. From the slaughterhouses and breweries of the 1800s, the draft riots of 1863, the Fighting 69th of World War I, the home of New York's most dangerous criminals from the early tenement days to Prohibition to the Westies, Hell's Kitchen rose from the blood and fire of the poor dreaming their riotous dreams and searing the urban landscape with a wild, demanding spirit. The story of Hell's Kitchen can be told in many ways, and must be told in many ways: in poetry and fiction, in art and film, biographies, histories and photographs. It's not one block, and it is. It's not one area, because the sum total is greater than what can be seen in a certain space or any lifetime. For all of us who live here, it's more than a narrative history, but the narrative history is essential to knowing it.

History - Part 1

The Early Days

Hell's Kitchen is the area between 34th and 59th Streets, from 8th Avenue to the Hudson River. Back in the 17th Century, when the Dutch first arrived in New York, they found on what is now the midtown's west side an idyllic, pastoral area of freshwater streams and grassy meadows. They called the region Bloemendael, for "Vale of Flowers." Many decades later, in 1851, the Hudson River Railroad set up a station at the future site of 30th Street and 10th Avenue, initiating major change. Immigrants to America, mostly Irish (fleeing the Great Potato Famine) and Germans soon flooded the area and went to work in the railroad yards. With the burgeoning of industry in New York at mid-century, they were the workers in West Side breweries, factories, slaughterhouses, warehouses, brickyards and on the docks.

By the start of the Civil War, the population of Hell's Kitchen soared to over 350,000, and that population was housed primarily in rows of tenements that were hastily erected amid the slaughterhouses and factories. Most residents, in fact, walked to work. The neighborhood slaughterhouses emitted such a stench that 39th Street was nicknamed Abattoir Place.

During the 1863 New York draft riots protesting the new Conscription Act, there were three days of chaos in the streets of Hell's Kitchen. During the Civil War, a rich man could buy a substitute to serve in his place. When the newspapers printed the names of everyone who had been chosen in the lottery, there was a great deal of resentment. The first name on the list was a man who lived on the corner of West 46th Street and 10th Avenue. The rioters ravaged the railways in this district. The neighborhood people joined in and suffered terrible losses, resulting in mass burials along 11th Avenue. The rioters attacked African-American men, killing three in the area and leaving 70 missing. The number of men killed in the riots may never be known, but estimates range from 2,000 to 20,000. Another 8,000 were wounded and $5 million in property damage was done.

After the Civil War, thousands of homeless children became street urchins, who in turn evolved into the nucleus of the first neighborhood gangs. The 19th Street Gang, led by Dutch Heinrichs, was one of the most notorious gangs. They would be followed by the Gophers and the Dead Rabbits (the name "dead" back then was equivalent to today's "bad.") Gang members typically lived in the squalid tenements west of 7th Avenue in the 20s and 30s, close to the infamous Tenderloin District.

The Wild West

By the 1880s, 36th Street to 59th Street west of 9th Avenue was a seething mix of tenements and factories. In 1879 a new city ordinance mandated an improved tenement design incorporating airshafts on each side of a building, giving it a dumbbell shape. These "dumbbell tenements," also known as New Law Tenements, were meant to provide air and light, but the airshafts were often used as dumping grounds for garbage. These tenements embodied the sordid nature of slum life, which was later exposed for all time by Jacob Riis in the 1890 classic tome, How The Other Half Lives.

With the building of the elevated subway, known as the El, in 1879, the glamorous and modern New York met the Other Half. The El used the vestiges of the aqueduct, built in 1842, to carry Croton water to the city's receiving reservoir. The aqueduct was mainly built by African-Americans, who briefly lived in the neighborhood before moving north with the work to Harlem. Later, underground pipes replaced the aqueduct, whose old masonry served to harbor thugs and highwaymen. By 1870, when some 17,000 sailors were said to have been robbed in Hell's Kitchen, the neighborhood was one of the most notorious criminal enclaves in town, housing (as of 1881) 7,500 licensed grog shops, as well as many unlicensed ones. Hell's Kitchen soon became home to the worst criminals in New York, so much so that writer Herbert Asbury called it "the most dangerous area on the American continent." Police constables walked the streets here only in pairs.

Although the name Hell's Kitchen refers to a rough section on the South Side of London, the term in reference to New York first appeared in print on September 22, 1881 when a New York Times reporter went to the West 30s with a police guide to get details of a multiple murder there. He referred to a particularly infamous tenement at 39th Street and 10th Avenue as "Hell's Kitchen," and said that the entire section was "probably the lowest and filthiest in the city." According to this version, 39th Street between 9th and 10th Avenues became known as Hell's Kitchen and the name was later expanded to the surrounding streets. Another version ascribes the name's origins to a German restaurant in the area known as Heil's Kitchen, after its proprietors. But the most common version traces it to the story of Dutch Fred The Cop, a veteran policeman, who with his rookie partner, was watching a small riot on West 39th Street near 10th Avenue. The rookie is supposed to have said, "This place is hell itself," to which Fred replied, "Hell's a mild climate. This is Hell's Kitchen."
