Memorial to Robert Fulton in New York City gateway
A proposed memorial to Robert Fulton the inventor of the steamboat envisions a grand water gateway at the Hudson River shore in New York City. The design chosen by a professional jury features a central triumphal arch over Fulton’s tomb, flanked by two wing buildings housing a naval museum and reception hall. Construction would use white marble and granite with reinforced concrete, spanning 509 feet of water gate width and about 750 feet riverfront from Riverdale Drive to the pier line, with 160 steps ascending. The project, estimated at around 9 million dollars, includes a Fulton Monument Association formed in 1906 and prize funds already raised. Van Buren was the successful competition architect.

Origination of blotting paper from pink jotting pad lace
A historical note explains blotting paper arose from a mishap with waste paper. A Berkshire factory worker mistakenly used blotting stains to absorb ink and found the pink tint made the paper useful.
