Sisters of Charity's original 1847 motherhouse was established on six acres now a part of Central Park in New York City.  A plaque marks the location known as McGown's Pass from 103^rd Street to 106^th Street and from Fifth Avenue to Sixth Avenue.  Before the Sisters of Charity owned the property, the site was occupied by George Washington.  Central Park is celebrating its 150^th anniversary.
