Quotes by James Roman  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“In 1837, New York University erected a Gothic Revival building on the northeast corner of the parade grounds at Washington Square, constructed from stones cut by convicts at Sing Sing, the maximum-security prison located about thirty miles up the river in Ossining, New York. The indignant stonecutters of New York’s Stonecutters Guild promptly organized New York’s first mass labor demonstration in Washington Square, which continued for days. To complete its construction, NYU was forced to call in the 27th Regiment of the National Guard to clear the demonstrators from the site.”
James Roman, Chronicles of Old New York: Exploring Manhattan's Landmark Neighborhoods
