Bowery Boys Hangout


Location of the original Bowery Boys clubhouse 
before the Civil War. 
40-42 Bowery.




Ground floor was the Green Dragon Saloon. During the famous 1857 riot, 1,000 members of the Roach Guards and the Dead Rabbits attacked the Bowery Boys here and nearly destroyed the entire building contents.
