this is 99% invisible i'm roman mars i'm not one of those people who romanticizes the edgier, grittier, New York, but this park has been overrun with dogs and babies.

And this is my friend Benjamin Walker reporting from New York City's

Tompkin Square Park.

The first Tompkin Square Riot took place in 1857.

A bunch of unemployed immigrants

tried to set the park on fire.

And then in 1863, the park saw more trouble

when the ultraviolet draft riots engulfed the city.

But it was the riot of 1874 that made

Tompkin Square Park famous. Over 7,000 workers battled

600 police officers, some on horseback swinging clubs. Early labor

organizer Samuel Gompers described the riot as an orgy of brutality.

In 1936, Robert Moses redesigned the park.

He cut it into sections, and supposedly he believes his design was

Riot proof. Well I guess what we know about that is it didn't work.

Fichon Chocrabardi is a professor of architecture and design at Columbia University.
