Seller's Description
NEW YORK PO Cancel and Matching Caged Killer
The stamp was torn at lower right.
Addressed to:
Packer Manufacturing Company
in New York City
Brooklyn had a lot of orphans and half-orphans in the 19th century, the result of immigration, poverty, disease, and misfortune. Half-orphans had at least one parent, but that parent was unable to care for the child. Caring for these children became a major part of Brooklyn’s Department of Charity, and in response to that need, many orphanages were built. There were Catholic orphanages, Protestant, Jewish and Colored Orphanages, orphanages for girls only, and for boys. There was also a large city orphanage called the Orphan Asylum of the city of Brooklyn.
The Society soon outgrew that building, and by 1870 was looking for something larger. The Bedford section of Brooklyn was seen as an ideal place. It was in the midst of being developed as a well-to-do area, and most importantly, had a lot of large parcels of available land at good prices, and was along major transportation lanes. Many other charitable institutions would soon follow suite. Funds were raised, and the cornerstone for the large new orphanage was laid in 1870. It soon loomed large on Atlantic Avenue, between St. Andrew’s Place and Kingston Avenue, in what is now Bedford Stuyvesant. The new building was designed by George Hathorne, and was described as being in the “Modern English Gothic” style, a massive building in Philadelphia brick, with Ohio and Hastings stone trim. Photographs and drawings show a beautiful, albeit enormous institution, which would later have a hospital and chapel added to the complex.
