Preserving South Street Seaport tells the fascinating story; from the 1960s to the present; of the South Street Seaport District of Lower Manhattan. Home to the original Fulton Fish Market and then the South Street Seaport Museum; it is one of the last neighborhoods of late 18th- and early 19th-century New York City not to be destroyed by urban development. In 1988; South Street Seaport became the citys #1 destination for visitors. Featuring over 40 archival and contemporary black-and-white photographs; this is the first history of a remarkable historic district and maritime museum.

I knew we would be visiting cathedrals and churches; and I really appreciated knowing in advance about the wonders of misericords and bench ends. Beautiful photographs. The wood carvings are sensuous... and even more fun when you know their history.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
