The Great Merchant A T Stewart and His Marble Emporiums
A letter describes A T Stewart as a financier whose vast marble buildings on Broadway and Teath Street stretch across four streets, with a combined workforce of about 1,700 in two stores. The author notes the lack of his name on signs, his strict control over operations, and his family tomb as a plain structure.
