A Map of Prerevolutionary Manhattan

A Manhattan tavern keeper, merchant, and owner of Hessian’s Coffee House from 1767 to 1789, David Grim preserved the city of his youth for posterity through various maps, building sketches, and notes. The maps represent the city he recalls from his childhood before the Revolutionary War.

A Plan of the City and Environs of New York as they were in the years 1742, 1743, 1744.
The key at the bottom of the map corresponds to notable locations and landmarks of important events.
The Grim Plan shows the development of Lower Manhattan and the cultivation of farms
and roads north of present-day Wall Street.

His circa 1744 plan of the city lists the government and community buildings, the homes and farms of notable families, and landmarks that are familiar today, such as Bowling Green (no. 59) and Old Trinity Church (no. 11).
