The red awnings at the far end of the street belong to Delmonico’s Restaurant, which fronts an unusual triangle of streets: Beaver, William and South William. Delmonico’s has occupied the site since 1891.<br /><br />Mill Lane, between Stone and South William Streets, <br />is one of over a dozen streets in the five boroughs named for <br />now-vanished mills that used to dot the area. A former name of South <br />William Street is Mill Street. It was first laid out in 1657. Mill Lane <br />used to be known as Ellet’s or Elliott’s Alley until 1664.<br /><br />In 1628, a mill was built in Dutch New Amsterdam. Peter Stuyvesant ceded the colony to the British at the mill in 1664Milhousenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-6556282856985563262013-07-12T08:33:17.951-04:002013-07-12T08:33:17.951-04:00Hi.

There were barely any Europeans there in 1770, let alone Yidden. But give Google credit for trying. It did ask me if I meant other Mill Streets in Texas or Vermont.Dan Kleinnoreply@blogger.com
