dropped into his drinking water as it was boiling over a fire. As the story goes, Emperor Shen
Nung drank the resulting liquid and proclaimed the drink to be most nourishing and refreshing.
Though this account cannot be documented, it is thought that tea drinking probably originated in
China and spread to other parts of Asia, then to Europe, and ultimately to America colonies
around 1650.
With about half the caffeine content as coffee, tea is often chosen by those who want to reduce,
but not necessarily eliminate their caffeine intake. Some people find that tea is less acidic than
coffee and therefore easier on the stomach. Others have become interested in tea drinking since

In the last third of the nineteenth century a new housing form was quietly being developed. In
1869 the Stuyvesant, considered New York’s first apartment house, was built on East Eighteenth
Street. The building was financed by the developer Rutherfurd Stuyvesant and designed by
Richard Morris Hunt, the first American architect to graduate from the Ecole des Beaux Arts in
Paris. Each man had lived in Paris, and each understood the economic and social potential of this
Parisian housing form. But the Stuyvesant was at best a limited success. In spite of Hunt’s
inviting facade, the living place was awkwardly arranged. Those who could afford them were
quite content to remain in the more sumptuous, single-family homes, leaving the Stuyvesant to
young married couple and bachelors.
The fundamental problem with the Stuyvesant and the other early apartment buildings that
quickly followed, in the late 1870’s and early 1880’s, was that they were confined to the typical
New York building lot. That lot was a rectangular area 25 feet wide by 100 feet deep - a shape
perfectly suited for a row house. The lot could also accommodate a rectangular tenement, though
it could not yield the square, well-lighted, and logically arranged rooms that great apartment
buildings require. But even with the awkward interior configurations of the early apartment
buildings, the idea caught on. It met the needs of a large and growing population that wanted
something better than tenements but could not afford or did not want row houses.
So while the city’s newly emerging social leadership commissioned their mansions, apartment
houses and hotels began to sprout on multiple lots, thus breaking the initial space constraints. In
the closing decades of the nineteenth century, large apartment houses began dotting the
developed portions of New York City, and by the opening decades of the twentieth century,
spacious buildings, such as the Dakota and the Ansonia finally transcended the tight confinement
of row house building lots. From there it was only a small step to building luxury apartment
houses on the newly created Park Avenue, right next to the fashionable Fifth Avenue shopping
area.
