O Novo Mundo closed in December 1879.
Construction of the new New York Times Building started in January 1888. The French's Hotel was demolished in 1888 to make way for the World Building completed in 1890. The Benjamin Franklin monument in the Printing House Square was unveiled in January, 1872. More: Park Row in 19th Century ►
