Fine arts was his forte. He lived on the corner of Fourth street and Broadway; the house is still standing; in its rear is a marble building, without windows on Broadway. Thousands in the last thirty years have made enquiry relative to that curious but windowless building. It was the Painting Gallery of Old Sam Ward, of the firm of Prime, Ward & King. Mr. Samuel Ward was supposed to be immensely rich -- he died not worth a copper. His son married one of the Astor girls [Emily], and has plenty of money, keeps fast horses, is a sort of diplomat, and a very good fellow. Old Sam Ward was a brother-in-law of the celebrated Doctor Francis." Website on Astor genealogy by Hein Bruins on angelfire.com with thanks for assistance to Ronald Elward.
