Info
The Lexington Avenue explosion was the July 4, 1914, explosion of a terrorist bomb in an apartment at 1626 Lexington Avenue in New York City. The blast killed four people and injured dozens. A large quantity of dynamite, which was apparently being used to construct a bomb to blow up John D. Rockefeller's Tarrytown home, exploded prematurely at a new seven-story model tenement. The blast destroyed most of the top three floors of the building, killing three conspirators and another renter who was not part of the bomb plot.
