Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei waahanga - I whakatuwherahia te papa tuatahi i te papaanga i te 1847 a i kiia ko Reservoir Square na tona tata ki te Croton Distributing Reservoir. I roto i a Reservoir Square te New York Crystal Palace, i whakamanahia ai te Whakaaturanga o te Ahumahi o nga Iwi Katoa
i te tau 1853 ka tahuna i te tau 1858. I whakaingoatia te tapawha i te tau 1884 mo te kaitautoko me te kairipoata a William Cullen Bryant. I whakangaromia te puna i te 1900 a i hangaia te peka matua o te Whare Pukapuka a te Katoa o New York i runga i te papaanga, i whakatuwherahia i te 1911. I hangaia a Bryant Park i te tau 1933-1934 ki tetahi mahere na Lusby Simpson. Whai muri i te wa o te heke, i whakahoutia i te 1988<unk>1992 e nga umanga hoahoanga &lt;a href="OLIN"&gt;Hanna/Olin Ltd.&lt;/a&gt; me Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates, i te wa i hangaia ai te papa me nga papa o te whare pukapuka i raro.
