Funny how tourists never come uptown to take a photo of this corner, where the Cumming family farm formerly abutted the Seaman family estate. The location is just north of Fort Tryon Park and The Cloisters Museum.
The Seamans were landowners and active in Manhattan politics since, roughly, The Revolution. They were last known through the 20th Century, until the 1990s, for their line of furniture stores of dubious style. Their tagline ran, "SEE SEAMAN'S FIRST!" But cognoscenti in home interior design quoted it as, "SEE SEAMAN'S LAST!" Alas, Seaman's didn't last.
But who knows, they may be cumming back.
