Continental Army Plaza (base of Williamsburg Bridge)


circa 1910 by C. Ording
New York Public Library #1509698

2009

This photo bears no date -- the statue above was built in 1906, and the buildings at background-left were replaced by 1918. Note that the First Presbyterian Church at right still stands, obscured by trees; it is now the home of El Puente.
