EDITORS COMMENTS
Castle Clinton or Fort Clinton - Castle Garden: A Historical Landmark at the Heart of New York City's Battery Park Castle Clinton or Fort Clinton, now known as Castle Garden, is a circular sandstone fortification located at the southern tip of Manhattan Island in New York City, United States. This historic structure, which dates back to the early 19th century, has played a significant role in the city's rich history. Initially built as a defensive fortification against British attacks, it was later transformed into a variety of uses, most notably as America's first immigration station from 1855 to 1890. During its active life, Castle Garden welcomed over 8 million immigrants, making it a crucial gateway for newcomers to the United States. The castle's distinctive circular design, made of beautiful sandstone, has stood the test of time and continues to be a popular tourist attraction in the area. Throughout history, Castle Garden has served many purposes. It was once a beer garden, exhibition hall, theater, and even a public aquarium. Today, it is a national monument, preserving the history of immigration and providing visitors with a glimpse into New York City's past. This photograph, taken circa 1900, captures the castle's grandeur and historical significance. The image showcases the castle's impressive sandstone walls, its circular shape, and its location in Battery Park. The tranquil waters of the harbor surround the castle, adding to its picturesque beauty. As part of the Box 160 Modern New York collection in the Boswell archives, this photograph is a valuable historical record of this iconic landmark in New York City.
