May 2011 NY Wall Street

After Trinity Church, we moved into Wall Street, as the joke goes, Wall Street starts in a graveyard and ends in the sea. Sounds like a fair point to me.

There’s the wall street canyon. Actually the road is fairly wide but the very tall buildings cause it to look squished.

This door had highly carved plaques of sailing ships and then what appears to be square shapes of carved stuff which were used for trading? Some kind of a maritime building?
