Ancient Germany had a form of tattooing, but Polynesia elevated it into an art form. Here on Oak Street (Monroe Street) between Oliver and James Streets, Martin Hildebrandt operated and worked at the first American tattoo studio from 1870 through 1890. Starting in 1846, this German immigrant became the first professional tattoo artist in America, moving from military camp to camp, finding fame by decorating sailors and other military types from both sides of the Civil War with sweethearts’ names and military insignias.
In 1882, Hildebrandt's 22-year-old daughter (and practice canvas), Nora Hildebrandt, became America’s first tattooed lady. Sporting 365 designs, she traveled with the Barnum & Bailey Circus in the 1890s, telling the same fabricated story of a pioneer woman’s captivity by Indians that carnie acts have told to amuse spectators for generations. Nora claimed to be tied to a tree for a year by natives and forcibly tattooed daily, claiming that even Sitting Bull took part in the savage ink rape. This same victimized-by-Indians story was told by Prince Constantine, who toured with Barnum's Great Traveling Exposition in 1873. Her fame was reduced by another tattooed woman named Irene Woodward, who used an incest theme revolving around her father to arouse and shock audiences.

In 1803, the Oliver Street Baptist Church was one of the first churches to denounce slavery and consider it a sin. The 1795 Oliver Street Baptist Meeting House was on the NW corner of Henry and Oliver Streets. It merged with the Madison Baptist Church and also picked up the former Delancey Church congregation. I was rebuilt in 1800, 1819 and 1843 after burning down earlier in 1843.
The Baptist Mariner's Temple was built by architect Isaac Lucas in 1843 on the site of the Oliver Street Baptist Church. It is the oldest Baptist church in NYC. The original Baptist Mariner's Temple was on Cherry Street between 1795 and 1842. The Baptist Mariner's Temple attracted sailors from ships docked on the East River. Several National Baptist Conventions and meetings have been held here. This old Irish neighborhood turned into a Greek neighborhood, and the Baptist Mariner's Temple was built in a Greek Revival style with fluted Ionic columns. It was designated a NYC landmark in 1966 by the Landmarks Preservation Commission.
