In front of the Cotton and Coffee Exchanges is the Hanover Square Station of the Third Avenue Elevated, which was was the last of the Els to vanish. It made its last scheduled run in May 1955, demolished in 1956. William Russell Grace (1832-1904) was New York City's first Roman Catholic mayor in 1880. He opposed Tammany Hall, reformed the police, curbed vice, and reduced taxes- and was re-elected in 1884.

It's amazing how many clotheslines are strung up on the rooftops!

Looks like the view is to the E-S-East as it looks like the Manhattan Bridge in front of the Brooklyn Bridge over the East River off in the distance.
