GDG- 45th New York

[Scott Mingus, Sr.]

In reading through the ORs for the XI Corps yesterday while watching the Browns game, I was struck by Dobke' account of the 45th New York's path of retreat. He ends up in the square, back tracks, turns left a couple of blocks, and winds up in a yard surrounded by "large buildings." Any idea of his exact route, and what could these large buildings with a spaicious yard have been? Did he end up by the warehouses?
   
  Just curious. I was looking at a Sanborn map to try to work  this out, but it's hard to tell what large buildings date from 1863 on the map, and I did not have a good cross reference.
   
  Thanks!
