THE BATTERY AND THE EAST RIVER WATERFRONT
Photo, Edward Bierstadt
Visible in this late nineteenth-century photograph of the Manhattan skyline are (from left to right) the Western Union Telegraph Building, Trinity’s steeple, the Washington Building, Castle Garden, and the Produce Exchange. Castle Garden, earlier called Castle Clinton, was built c. 1807; from the 1820s to the 1850s it was an important theater and assembly hall; from 1855 to 1890 it was New York’s immigrant station; from 1896 to 1942 it housed the New York Aquarium. Today it resembles the fort as it was originally built. (The side-wheeler William Fletcher was out of Boston.)
This view, taken from a high window on the east side of lower Broadway, shows Bowling Green, New York City’s first park, as it appeared about 100 years after it was enclosed by the fence seen here. The buildings at the left are part of Steamship Row, and Battery Park appears in the distance. Broadway begins at the right, the second building, 7-11 Broadway, having been completed the year this picture was taken. Designed by W. G. Audsley, its impressive Egyptian Revival facade incorporates ancient pillars into the design of the entrances. The recruiting tent in the foreground and the bare branches on the trees set the photograph date to the start of the Spanish-American War (declared April 25th). Dimly seen at the end of the park is the seated figure of Abraham de Peyster by George Edwin Bissell, installed just two years before near the spot where the equestrian statue of George III was torn down by an irate populace on July 9, 1776.
Photo Victor Prevost
This early view looking north from Battery Place was taken by the French photographer Victor Prevost, who came to New York in 1848. Soon after his arrival he began work on one of the earliest existing photographic records of the city. The present picture is one of the 'earliest outdoor photographs of New York known today. Taken while the Battery was being enlarged, it shows the steeples of nearby Trinity Church and, in the distance, St. Paul’s Chapel.
A row of fine Federal houses facing Battery Park—on the west side of State Street just south of Bowling Green—is captured in this photograph of the Civil War period. A recruiting office is set up on the ground floor at No. 16, where a poster at the door offers a bounty of $800 to each enlistee. The other buildings are also in use as military offices.
Facing Battery Park and planned to fit the curve of State Street is the Federal house built for James Watson in the early nineteenth century, supposedly from designs by John McComb, Jr. At the time of this view, the facade had been painted and the windows and doors highlighted in imitation of bold Georgian architectural detail, less in keeping with the elegance of the original house than its later restoration as part of the Shrine of Blessed Mother Seton. The horse-drawn street sprinkler is an independently important detail in this late nineteenth-century photograph of an early New York mansion that is still standing.

The dramatic sweep of the South Ferry Y, which was the southern terminal of the el, is seen from Whitehall Street in this copyrighted print dated 1894. The Coney Island Ferry (in the slip at far left) took passengers direct to Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. At the far right is the turreted splendor of the Barge Office.
