Browse Manhattan and Brooklyn liquor licenses

On March 23, 1896, during the 119th session of the New York State Legislature, the “Liquor Tax Law,” was passed, establishing a new taxation policy for the trafficking of intoxicating liquors. Liquor licenses set to expire after the law went into effect on April 30, 1896, were eligible for a refund upon surrendering the license. This collection contains those licenses that were yielded for return in Manhattan and Brooklyn. This gallery contains images of licenses without their associated rebate documents. The fully digitized collection of both licenses and rebate documents are available to view onsite at 31 Chambers St.
