10. Statue of Liberty
Statue of Liberty
Description
At Battery Park is also the landing pier for the ferry to Bedloe's Island on which stands the Statue of Liberty. This statue holds an electric torch 300 feet above the water which can be seen by ships at sea for a long distance. There is a stairway in the statue which one may ascend and look out upon the harbor and the city from a point just below the head. This statue is one of the famous landmarks in New York City harbor. It was a gift from France in 1883. It was one time used as a fort (Fort Wood). There is still the suggestion of a fort in the star shape of the walls surrounding the base of the statue. The island also carries one of the most powerful radio broadcasting stations in the country. Interesting streets in this section are West Street, noted for its vast shipping; Washington for its polyglot population; and Greenwich for its one-time splendor. It was once known as Millionaire Row; now anything but that. Many of the old houses still stand but are used as tenements, and many of the worst tenements in the city are in this section. One can ride down through this section on the elevated trains and see a child in one window and a horse in the next. There are a number of old stables in this section. Whether the horses have learned to climb the stairs, I don't know, but you can see them on the second and third stories of these houses. From the battery to Vesey Street and from Greenwich to West Street there is a population of about 10,000 crowded into old warehouses, stables, and old residences. It is estimated that 27 nationalities are represented: Irish, Poles, Syrians, Greeks, Armenians and people from Palestine and Mesopotamia. There are many needlework shops, beautiful embroideries and handmade laces. Some of the shops sell both wholesale and retail. Neighborhood Associations attempt to give the children a play place, provide baby clinics and recreation centers. There is a Bowling Green Neighborhood Association.
