A rare 1873 John Bute Holmes cadastral of part of the Manhattan (New York City) neighborhoods Chelsea and Hell's Kitchen. The map covers northern Chelsea from 27th street to the southern part of Hell's Kitchen at 42nd Street. It also covers from the Hudson River to 8th Avenue, in the process including the current mega-development of Hudson Yards. This is one of a series of 21 scarce maps drawn by Holmes between 1867 and 1875. Like all maps in this series it was independently issued, is quite large, and impressively detailed. The maps were intended to illustrate real estate holdings at a point in New York history when vast estates in central and upper Manhattan were being broken up and segregated among numerous heirs. This led naturally to countless legal battles, much of the litigation behind which, depended upon detailed cadastral maps like this one.

The current map illustrates the breakup of the Glass House Farm, as well as the estates of George C. Schroepple, George Rapelje, and Cornelius Ray. Some of these claims date to the early Dutch period of New Amsterdam, but were honored by the British even after the takeover. The breakup of the estates is detailed via tables in the upper right quadrant, where individual heirs and landowners are identified. Each is referenced by New York City record book and page number.

The map's namesake, the Glass House Farm, was a large farm situated between the Hudson River and Fitzroy Road (as shown on map) in today's West 30s. The unusual name, Glass House, refers to a short lived glass factory that was established on the location in 1754. There was also a nearby tavern of the same name that, at the time of the American Revolutionary War, was a popular roadhouse and inn. The street names on this map reflect the original owners of the farm.

This map is rare. The OCLC identifies only 2 other examples, one at the New York State Library, and another at the University of Wisconsin.

Good value and quality.
Style: Tuggi Hide
Great for sports dog and building drive. This isn’t a chew toy to let a dog shred. I have big dogs that love to tug, and this has held up to a huge amount of use with high drivey dogs.

Good quality! Great reward for my search and rescue dogs!
Style: Tuggi Ball
My dogs love this! The bungee makes it easier on my shoulder and my dog enjoys it a lot. Super lightweight which is important for taking it on searches. Holds up to my intense working dog’s tug sessions *note that it is an interactive toy not a chew toy. Probably wouldn’t last long if you just give it to them to play on their own but perfect for a good game of tug

Fun for a short while
Style: Chase & Crinkle, Style: Chase & Crinkle
4 month old GSD puppy loved this toy but it did not last long before getting a whole in the crinkle part. I even limited the amount of play my dog had with it so I could increase the value of the toy to use it for distractions.

Not for low food-drive dogs
Style: Chase & Treat
Not the right toy for us but maybe for others. Seems durable and is on the more affordable side. However, the Velcro is so strong that it’s difficult and/or uncomfortable for our dog to open it. May be better suited for a more food-driven dog.

Multi variant review!
Style: Tuggi Ball
Coachi Tuggi Ball - Great handle, ball is too big for puppies for sure and unsure on how about the hardness, it is hard, like a hard styrofoam Chase and Krinkle - excellent, buy. Soft for puppies to latch on and the fur plus krinkle keeps them super engaged. Great handle too. Length, you can play with Felt tugs are good too. These have been good minus the ball tug lulz
