New Chelsea condo development named for a slave owner

There's a new condo development in Chelsea, named after Clement Clarke Moore, who is credited with writing "A Visit from St. Nicholas."  Moore's family's country estate, which was called Chelsea, contributed both the land and the name to our beloved neighborhood.  Clement Clarke Moore was on the faculty of the General Theological Seminary, and donated the land on which it sits.

Moore opposed abolition and owned slaves.  I'm glad I'll often walk by a building which bears his name.
