On Thursday afternoon, the 102nd anniversary of the building of the John T. Brush Stairway, the New York City Parks Department cut the ribbon on the newly-renovated set of 80 steps running through Highbridge Park in Harlem, connecting Edgecombe Avenue to Harlem River Drive. For 50 years, from the opening of the stairway in 1913 to the demolition of the Polo Grounds in 1964, the stairs carried millions of sports fans from the top of the famous Coogan's Bluff to the ticket booths behind home plate.
