Bowling Green Fence Erected by the Common Council in 1771, this fence surrounds New York's earliest park. The park was leased in 1733 for use as a Bowling Green at a rental of one peppercorn a year. Patriots, who in 1776 destroyed an equestrian statue of George III which stood here, are said to have removed the crown which capped the fence posts but the fence itself remains.

Cunard Building — The Cunard Line, which first opened a New York Office in 1848, occupied this building upon its completion in 1921. Benjamin W. Morris was the architect, and Thomas Hastings served as consultant in the design of the great hall, inspired by Roman and Italian Renaissance examples. The site was formerly occupied by Delmonico's Hotel, opened in 1846, later renamed the Stevens House and demolished in 1919.
