Land of the free
Statue of Liberty is visible in the harbor.
Broad-Exchange Bldg
Right of center, the high flagpole atop the Produce Exchange; further right and the same height is the southeastward slab extension of the building that's still on the SE corner of Broad and Exchange. The two-window-wide slab is in the center of the 1900 pic looking NW; it was removed maybe 15 years ago.
The old block
On the waterfront, all the way to the right are two buildings. One is four windows across and the other has a point along its roof line. Those buildings are still there, at 115 and 118 South Street. It looks like that entire block is still there.
