Charles Lane, formerly known as "Pig Alley," formerly known as Charles Street.
Street pattern/Roadbed of Charles Lane
Laid Out 1797/Mapped 1893
Alley
According to a New York City Corporation Counsel memo of 1892, what is now called Charles Lane was mentioned in the original Hammond Deed as a roadway on the north side of the Newgate State Prison, built in 1797. At first called Charles Street and then Pig Alley, it came to be known as Charles Lane, and was officially mapped as a New York City street in 1893. The current stone pavers are believed to date from this time, making them possibly the oldest existing street pavers in New York City.
