21-23 Peck Slip and 251 Water Street


On the left is 21-23 Peck Slip, which was designed by Richard Morris Hunt and constructed in 1873. The insides were originally intended to be lofts for the trustees of the Roosevelt Hospital. On the right side is 251 Water Street, which was designed by Carl F. Eisenbach in 1888. This entire series of building is now a Best Western. More info on Page 37 of your AIA guide.

HOW TO GET THERE: Take the A, C, J, M, Z, 2, 3, 4, or 5 to Fulton Street, walk east until you see the South Street Seaport (the pedestrian mall portion), and then walk north two blocks.
