Union–Miles Park established. The Freemasons organized the Newburgh Lodge in 1866, and erected a Masonic Hall at what is now 8201 Broadway. In 1916, the lodge contracted with local architect William J. Carter to design and build the Newburgh Masonic Temple six blocks to the southeast at 8910 Miles Park Avenue. Despite the immense changes in Union–Miles Park since 1856, the area was still quite rural. Nearly all homes in the neighborhood in 1873 were modest (and grimy), and nearly all roads were rutted dirt. Broadway was the only paved street, as it had been lined with stone in 1871 and 1872.
