4 South Street
New York, NY 10004

Stone Street is a street in Manhattan's Financial District. It originally ran from Broad Street to Hanover Square, but was divided into two sections by the construction of the Goldman Sachs building at 85 Broad Street in the 1980s. Today the cluster of historic buildings along Stone, South William, Pearl Streets and Coenties Alley form the Stone Street Historic District.HistoryThe street was originally known as Hoogh Straet . Around 1656 Hoogh Straet was shifted about twenty to twenty-five feet to align it with Brouwer Street, the extension of Hoogh Straet west of the Gracht, and which in 1658 became the first paved street in Nieuw Amsterdam. Following the British conquest of the colony, the name Hoogh Straet was translated to High Street, and then called Duke Street, for the Duke of York. Leveled in 1771 and surveyed in 1790, it was renamed Stone Street in 1794 as New Yorkers abandoned reminders of British rule.In 1632 the Dutch West India Company built the first commercial brewery in North America there. The street was later named Stone Street because of its cobblestone paving. During most of the 1700s, the street was called Duke Street. The street's stores and lofts were built for dry-goods merchants and importers, shortly after the Great Fire of 1835, which destroyed many remnants of New Amsterdam.

1 New York Plaza is an office building in New York City's Financial District, built in 1969 at the intersection of South and Whitehall Streets. It is the southernmost of all Manhattan skyscrapers.The building is 640 feet (195 m) tall with 50 floors. The building was designed by William Lescaze & Assocs. and Kahn & Jacobs. The building has 2.556 million square feet of office space. There is a 40,000ft2 retail concourse on the lower level.The facade was designed by Nevio Maggiora, consisting of a boxlike "beehive" pattern with the windows recessed within, made of aluminum-clad wall elements resembling a type of thermally activated elevator button popular at the time of construction.Notable former occupants of One New York Plaza include Salomon Brothers in its heyday, and Goldman Sachs, while current tenants are Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, Morgan Stanley, and Nature Publishing Group.HistoryIn 1959, the City of New York attempted to acquire through eminent domain the land under this development as part of the Battery Park Urban Renewal Area. The plan involved consolidating several blocks into a "superblock" for public housing. When that plan fell through, the city hoped to entice the New York Stock Exchange to relocate to the property. However, the owner of the property—the firm of Atlas McGrath—successfully sued to retain their land, claiming they were more than willing to develop the site privately.

55 Water Street is a 687ft skyscraper in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City, on the East River. The 53-story, 3.5e6sqft structure was completed in 1972. Emery Roth & Sons designed the building, which is tied with 277 Park Avenue as the 40th-tallest building in New York City. When it was completed it was the largest office building in the world, and is still the largest in New York by floor area. In an arrangement with the Office of Lower Manhattan Development, it was built on a superblock created from four adjoining city blocks, suppressing the western part of Front Street.Its closest competitors in square footage are the Met Life Building at and 111 Eighth Avenue at. One World Trade Center has roughly the same square footage (3.5 million square feet). The now-destroyed World Trade Center was also bigger when it opened in 1970–71.

1 Hanover Square, formerly known as the New York Cotton Exchange building and as India House, is on the southern edge of Hanover Square in Lower Manhattan, New York City.HistoryThe structure was constructed as a commercial investment by the builder, developer and merchant Richard F. Carman in 1851-53. It was the headquarters of the Hanover Bank. In 1870, the New York Cotton Exchange was founded here, the second such exchange in the world and the first commodity market in the United States. After 1914, it was India House, a private club.It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977. It currently houses restaurants. It was also used in the 2001 film Kate and Leopold as Leopold's family home.

Hanover Square is a square with a public park in the Financial District, Lower Manhattan, New York City. It is triangular in shape, bordered by Pearl Street, Stone Street (which is now pedestrian-only) and a street named Hanover Square. Most surrounding buildings are primarily commercial, although 3 Hanover Square, a former home to the New York Cotton Exchange, and 10 Hanover Square, a former office building, have been converted to residential use. The square was known by its current name as early as 1730, during the period of British colonialism. In 1714, it was named for the House of Hanover, when King George I ascended to the throne. The Queen Elizabeth II Garden (formerly named the British Garden at Hanover Square) was opened in June 2008. A memorial park for those victims of September 11 who were citizens of any Commonwealth realm (i.e., Britain, Canada, Australia, etc.) it was given its broader designation on September 11, 2011. In July 2010, subsequent to her royal tour of Canada, Queen Elizabeth II visited Hanover Square after laying a wreath at the World Trade Center site and meeting with families of the British victims.

The Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House is a building in New York City built in 1902–07 by the federal government, to house the duty collection operations for the Port of New York. It is located at 1 Bowling Green, near the southern tip of Manhattan, roughly on the same spot as Fort Amsterdam, the original center of the settlement of New Amsterdam. The building is now the home of the George Gustav Heye Center of the National Museum of the American Indian, as well as the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York; since 2012, it is also the home to the National Archives at New York City.ArchitectureThe building was designed by Minnesotan Cass Gilbert, who later designed the Woolworth Building, which is visible from the building's front steps. The selection of Gilbert to design the building was marked with controversy. Until 1893, federal office buildings were designed by government architects under the Office of the Supervising Architect of the United States Department of the Treasury. In 1893, the Tarsney Act permitted the Supervising Architect to hire private architects following a competition. The Supervising Architect James Knox Taylor picked Gilbert, who earlier had been his partner at the Gilbert & Taylor architecture firm in St. Paul, Minnesota. The scandal never quite blew over, and in 1913, the Tarsney Act was repealed.

26 Broadway, also known as the Standard Oil Building, is a 31-story, 520ft landmarked office building located at Bowling Green in the Financial District of New York City. As of 2010, the structure is the 197th tallest building in New York City and the 572nd tallest building in the United States. 26 Broadway was also the home address in the late 18th century of Alexander Hamilton, his wife Eliza, and their family.

1 Wall Street Court in the Financial District of Manhattan, also known as The Beaver Building and The Cocoa Exchange (as the former home of the New York Cocoa Exchange) is a triangular-shaped building reminiscent of the Flatiron Building. The building, designed by Clinton and Russell and completed in 1904, is located at the intersection of Wall Street, Pearl Street, and Beaver Street.HistoryThe 15-story Beaver Building, designed in the neo-Renaissance style by the well-known and prolific firm of Clinton & Russell and built from 1903 to 1904, was commissioned by the Century Realty Co. as a speculative office building. The steel-framed, flatiron shaped structure occupies a narrow quadrilateral lot at the juncture of Beaver and Pearl Streets near Wall Street. The design has the tripartite arrangement of base-shaft-capital common to many of New York's early skyscrapers, with a stone base, a midsection faced in brick laid in bands of tan and buff shades, and a top section richly ornamented with glazed terracotta in shades of green, cream, and russet, incorporating both classically derived and abstract geometric motifs.The Beaver Building is a notable example of the design solution for turn-of-the-century New York skyscrapers in which each section of the tripartite scheme is differentiated by color and materials. It is also a very early example of the use of boldly polychromatic glazed terracotta, as well as a significant survivor of this period of terracotta development. Carved ornament depicting beavers, representing the name of the building, is found over the Beaver Street entrance and below the primary cornice of the base.

32 Old Slip, also known as One Financial Square, is a skyscraper in the Financial District of New York City. Completed in 1987, the building has 36 floors and stands at. It is home to Convene, AIG Global Real Estate, Goldman Sachs, the New York Regional Office of the United States Census Bureau, and the ground floor houses the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) Engine Company 4 and Ladder Company 15.HistoryThe building site originally held the United States Assay Office, the last public gold refinery in the United States. It also melted damaged coins and incinerated damaged paper money. In 1983, the United States Mint put the 42,176sqft property up for auction. Beginning at US$3 million, the winning bid was made by HRO International Ltd., a New York realty developer, at $27 million. The sale established it as the most valuable government estate sold at public auction. The Assay office building was demolished in 1986.In 1987, HRO built the 36-floor building that stands today, naming the 23-43 Old Slip property One Financial Square. The Paramount Group purchased the property for $135 million in 1995, then in August 2007 sold it to Beacon Capital Partners for $751 million, which is one of the largest sales on record of an office building in Lower Manhattan.

Charging Bull, which is sometimes referred to as the Wall Street Bull or the Bowling Green Bull, is a bronze sculpture that stands in Bowling Green Park in the Financial District in Manhattan, New York City. Originally guerilla art, by Arturo Di Modica, its popularity led to it being a permanent feature.DescriptionThe 7100lb sculpture stands 11ft tall and measures 16ft long. The oversize sculpture depicts a bull, the symbol of aggressive financial optimism and prosperity, leaning back on its haunches and with its head lowered as if ready to charge. The sculpture is both a popular tourist destination which draws thousands of people a day, as well as "one of the most iconic images of New York" and a "Wall Street icon" symbolizing Wall Street and the Financial District.In Outdoor Monuments of Manhattan: A Historical Guide, Dianne Durante describes the sculpture:The Bulls head is lowered, its nostrils flare, and its wickedly long, sharp horns are ready to gore; it's an angry, dangerous beast. The muscular body twists to one side, and the tail is curved like a lash: the Bull is also energetic and in motion.The bronze color and hard, metallic texture of the sculpture's surface emphasises the brute force of the creature. The work was designed and placed so that viewers could walk around it, which also suggests the creature's own movement is unrestricted — a point reinforced by the twisting posture of the bull's body, according to Durante.

Il Toro di Wall Street è una scultura in bronzo realizzata dall'artista siciliano Arturo Di Modica e collocata presso il Bowling Green Park, nel quartiere della borsa di New York a Wall Street.La creazioneIl peso della scultura è di circa 3,2 tonnellate e il costo di realizzazione, interamente sostenuto dall'autore, si è aggirato intorno ai 360.000 dollari. Il 16 dicembre del 1989 Di Modica ha installato il toro proprio di fronte alla sede della borsa di Wall Street, senza preventiva autorizzazione delle amministrazioni pubbliche, intendendo simboleggiare con la possente scultura la forza, il potere e la speranza del popolo americano per il futuro che aveva consentito agli USA di risollevarsi dopo il crack finanziario del 1987.La proprietàNonostante sia stata collocata senza alcuna autorizzazione, la scultura non è stata mai rimossa dopo il primo tentativo che andò fallito, ed è ormai considerata dai newyorkesi un monumento in esposizione permanente, simbolo del capitalismo americano ed è anche un simbolo di fortuna per tutti quelli che puntano in borsa. Arturo Di Modica risulta essere il proprietario della poderosa scultura. Nel 2004 l'artista ha dichiarato di voler mettere all'asta la statua, specificando che l'aggiudicatario acquisirà i diritti di sfruttamento dell'immagine della scultura, ma non ne potrà mutare la collocazione.. Nel 2009 Di Modica ha citato in giudizio la Random House con l'accusa di violazione di diritto di utilizzo di un'immagine coperta da copyright per aver riprodotto l'immagine del toro sulla copertina di un numero dedicato al crollo della società di servizi finanziari Lehman Brothers.

The Marine Midland Building is a 51-story office building located at 140 Broadway between Cedar and Liberty streets in Manhattan's financial district. The building, completed in 1967, is 688 ft tall and is known for the distinctive sculpture at its entrance, Isamu Noguchi's Cube. Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the man who designed the building, had originally proposed a monolith type sculpture, but it was deemed to be too expensive. It is currently owned by Union Investment.The building is approximately 688ft high, measuring approximately 1,170,000 rentable square feet . The primary tenant of the building as of 2010 is Brown Brothers Harriman, leasing some 430,000 ft² in 2003. BBH moved to the site from their trademark location at 59 Wall Street, filling a vacancy left after HSBC moved their primary New York offices out of the building, to the HSBC building at 452 5th Avenue.HistoryThe building was built by a consortium headed by Harry Helmsley and Marine Midland Bank received naming rights as part of its lease agreement which initially covered the two basement and first 20 floors. Controlling interest in Marine Midland was purchased by HSBC in 1980 and they secured 100% ownership in 1987; the name of the bank was changed to HSBC Bank USA in 1998. Today the building is known by both names, but is more often referred to by its older name to distinguish it from the other HSBC Buildings.

One World Trade Center is the name of two buildings. It most commonly refers to the primary building of the new World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York City, and the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere. The 104-story supertall structure, which shares a name with the northern Twin Tower in the original World Trade Center that was destroyed in the September 11 attacks, stands on the northwest corner of the 16-acre (6.5 ha) World Trade Center site, on the site of the original 6 World Trade Center. The building is bordered to the west by West Street, to the north by Vesey Street, to the south by Fulton Street, and to the east by Washington Street. Construction on below-ground utility relocations, footings, and foundations for the building began on April 27, 2006. On March 30, 2009, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey confirmed that the building would be known by its legal name, One World Trade Center, rather than the colloquial name, Freedom Tower.

The Barclay Tower is a skyscraper located in Tribeca, a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The residential building rises 673ft above street level, containing 56 floors for 441 rental units. Construction of the building lasted from 2005 to 2007, with the topping out ceremony happening in Fall 2006. This tower block is also one of the tallest new residential buildings in New York City.The land that the building is standing on was formerly occupied by 5-story business buildings, including Pearl Desk Company at 10 Barclay Street.

The Winter Garden Atrium is a 10-story glass-vaulted pavilion on Vesey Street in New York City's Brookfield Place office complex. Originally constructed in 1988, and substantially rebuilt in 2002, the Atrium houses various plants, trees and flowers, and shops. The rear of the building opens onto the World Financial Center Plaza and the North Cove Yacht Harbor on the Hudson River.HistoryThe Winter Garden Atrium, along with the rest of the Brookfield Place, was designed by architect César Pelli in 1985. Completed in 1988 at a cost of $60 million, the Atrium was originally connected to the World Trade Center via a 400ft pedestrian bridge that spanned West Street.The Atrium was severely damaged in the September 11, 2001 attacks as almost all the glass panes were blown out by the dust clouds and debris caused by the collapse of the Twin Towers, but was rebuilt during the first year of the Financial Center's recovery. Reconstruction of the Winter Garden required 2,000 panes of glass, 60,000 square feet of marble flooring and stairs, and sixteen 40ft Washingtonia robusta palm trees at a cost of $50 million. Reopened on September 17, 2002, the Winter Garden was the first major structure to be completely restored following the attacks. President George W. Bush was present at the reopening ceremony.

7 World Trade Center refers to two buildings that have existed at the same location in the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The current structure is the second building to bear that name and address in the World Trade Center. The original structure, part of the old World Trade Center, was completed in 1987 and was destroyed in the September 11 attacks. The current building opened in 2006. Both buildings were developed by Larry Silverstein, who holds a ground lease for the site from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.The original Trade Center was tall, clad in red masonry, and occupied a trapezoidal footprint. An elevated walkway connected the building to the World Trade Center plaza. The building was situated above a Consolidated Edison power substation, which imposed unique structural design constraints. When the building opened in 1987, Silverstein had difficulties attracting tenants. In 1988, Salomon Brothers signed a long-term lease, and became the main tenants of the building. On September 11, 2001, was damaged by debris when the nearby North Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed. The debris also ignited fires, which continued to burn throughout the afternoon on lower floors of the building. The building's internal fire suppression system lacked water pressure to fight the fires, and the building collapsed completely at, according to FEMA, while the 2008 NIST study placed the final collapse time at. The collapse began when a critical internal column buckled and triggered structural failure throughout, which was first visible from the exterior with the crumbling of a rooftop penthouse structure at 5:20:33 pm. The collapse made the old 7 World Trade Center the first tall building known to have collapsed primarily due to uncontrolled fires, and the only steel skyscraper in the world to have collapsed due to fire.

The Verizon Building - previously known as the Barclay-Vesey Building and the New York Telephone Company Building - is a 32-story building located at 140 West Street between Barclay and Vesey Streets, going through to Washington Street, in the TriBeCa neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. The building was constructed from 1923 to 1927, and was designed in the Art Deco style by Ralph Walker of the firm McKenzie, Voorhees & Gmelin. The building is adjacent to the World Trade Center site and 7 World Trade Center, and it experienced major damage in the September 11, 2001 attacks. Its thick masonry exterior and use of masonry to protect steel columns and structural elements helped the building withstand the attacks. Restoration of the building after the attacks took three years, at a cost of $1.4 billion.The building, which has been called "one of the most significant structures in skyscraper design", was the longtime corporate headquarters of Verizon Communications.ArchitectureThe interior of the building includes 1200000sqft. The lobby features veined marble walls, travertine floors with inlaid bronze medallions, and other ornate decor, including ceiling murals that depict how human communication has progressed, from Aztec runners to the telephone. Walker was inspired by Maya architecture in designing the facade. Exterior ornamentation includes complex foliage, along with babies and animal heads as part of the design, and a bell (symbol of the telephone company) above the door.

250 Vesey Street, formerly Four World Financial Center, is a part of the Brookfield Place complex in Lower Manhattan, which houses the international headquarters of Merrill Lynch. The building was formerly home to the Merrill Lynch trading floor, which is now located in the Bank of America Tower (New York City).Rising 34 floors 500ft, and situated between the Hudson River and the World Trade Center site, Four World Financial Center is located in the heart of the Financial District. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, the building sustained major damage to its roof, however the general damage to the building was nowhere near as great as the other three towers.The structure was renamed 250 Vesey Street when the rest of the complex became Brookfield Place in 2014.

The Church of St. Andrew is a Roman Catholic parish church in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, located at 20 Cardinal Hayes Place, Manhattan, New York City. It was established in 1842 and has been staffed by the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament ever since.DescriptionIn 1892, the address listed was on Duane Street, and the corner of City Hall Place.The present building was erected in 1939 through a joint effort involving the famous Boston firm Maginnis & Walsh and Robert J. Reiley of New York. It is one of the best examples of the Georgian Revival architectural style in New York. St. Andrew is the only New York City church to be designed by Maginnis & Walsh.The church was erected near the site of the infamous Five Points slum. The selection of the site for the church was near where Cardinal Hayes was born.The church is located near City Hall and the headquarters of the NYPD, along with several other courthouses. Above the entrance to the church, an inscription in Latin reads "Beati qvi ambvlant in lege Domini," which means "Blessed are they who walk in the law of the Lord."ClergyRev. William S. Creedan was transferred here (presumably as assistant) from to St. Monica Church (Manhattan) in 1904.

Bargemusic, formally known as Bargemusic, Ltd. is a classical music venue and cultural icon in Brooklyn. Founded in 1977, it is housed on a converted coffee barge moored at Fulton Ferry Landing on the East River near the Brooklyn Bridge.HistoryOlga Bloom founded Bargemusic in 1977, following the transformation of the coffee barge into a music hall in that same year, and the programming has evolved over time while not losing the intimacy of the performance space, which some compare to a floating living room."Actually, we're practicing great economy of motion here," said Bloom in 1990. "Water exerts a universal pull on humanity. People commune with nature here, to a degree. They even see a soaring seagull occasionally, and I have my scraggly, brave pines on the deck. We also offer an unmistakably warm social occasion. Our audiences are small - we can hold 140, but I usually try to cut off at 130 - so even though they don't know each other, they speak to each other readily during the intermissions. They are sharing values. And they are experiencing a noble performance of great music. All in one visit."The current barge, 102-feet long and built in 1899, was the third that Bloom purchased for this use after the first two barges' acoustics did not suit concert performances. She found the current barge near the Statue of Liberty and a tugboat captain advised her of the free slip near the Brooklyn Bridge that still houses the barge.
