Market Past, Market Future
Seaport resident and photographer Barbara Mensch took this incredible shot of the Tin Building interior while the Fulton Fish Market was still operating, sometime in the late 1980's. Note the cobblestones of South Street directly connecting the street to this public trading site. Also note how clean the building was left at the end of each selling day. A few years ago, we showed Barbara's photo to artist Kazuya Morimoto and he created this watercolor rendering of the Tin Building brought back to life with a genuine public market - New Amsterdam Market.
