    Columbia University- Forgotten Nuclear Lab & The Manhattan Project

    Columbia University- Forgotten Nuclear Lab & The Manhattan Project

    The latest episode of my podcast has been released – Columbia University – Forgotten Nuclear Lab & The Manhattan Project and can be heard at www.Harlem-Stories.com 
    In this episode I discuss the role that Columbia University played both in The Manhattan Project as well as a Nuclear Testing Lab. The US Military had a longstanding policy to name projects based on where they were located. When the Military decided that they wanted to experiment with nuclear for explosives- they reached out to J. Robert Oppenheimer to help create the first nuclear bomb. He was of course located in Manhattan- and thus the name of the project was called The Manhattan Project. While early portion of the Manhattan Project was located much further south in Manhattan, work was later moved to the Columbia University campus- in the basement and tunnels of Pupin Hall. It is rumored that the cyclotron that was used in these experiments are still sealed in the tunnels beneath the university. As the U.S. started to adapt to nuclear power- whether from military sources such as Submarines or from reactors for local generators- another building owned by Columbia became the testing lab for these precisely calibrated parts. We will discuss a little bit deeper into the history of the building where the testing lab was located.

    Graham Ct & Interior Courtyard Buildings by the Astor Family

    Graham Ct & Interior Courtyard Buildings by the Astor Family

    The Astor family was one of the earliest large developers in NYC- and the properties they developed are now iconic. Graham Court on 116th St was one of their earliest large buildings with an interior courtyard.  Graham Court served as a model for later buildings- the Apthorp and the Belnord on the Upper West Side. The Belnord, can be seen today as it's own character in the Hulu show "Only Murders in the Building" - ironically as the center of it's own podcast in the show. 

    In this episode I discuss the Astor family and their history in NYC, along with Graham Court and a few of the other buildings built by the Astor's - with a special mention of the Waldorf Astoria.
