Soon they began construction of this unusual building with its grand dining room, colorful barroom and many private dining rooms and opened it in 1837, having secured permission of the Common Council to extend ornate iron balconies over the sidewalk at both second and third floors.

The cuisine was French, the service elegant and the cost high. New Yorkers flocked to Delmonico's and the name became known around the world. This building was outgrown by the 1880s and our old photograph may have been taken as a record shot just before old Delmonico's was closed to be demolished in 1890. James B.
