Helen McAllister

Le Helen Mc Allister, ex-Admiral Dewey puis Georgetown est un remorqueur construit par Burlee Drydock à Long Island City en 1900. Il a été construit avec un moteur à vapeur composé à triple expansion de 900 chevaux qui a été remplacé par un moteur diesel après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il a remorqué des barges de charbon pour ravitailler les navires dans le port. En 1955, il a été vendu à une compagnie de remorqueurs de Charleston, en Caroline du Sud. Dans les années 1980, la société de remorqueurs McAllister de New York a acheté la société et a ramené le remorqueur dans le port de New York en le rebaptisant Helen McAllister. Après sa retraite, il a été donné au South Street Seaport Museum de New York à Manhattan en 2000. Il a été inscrit au registre national des lieux historiques le 27 décembre 2002.

70 Pine Street

70 Pine Street (formerly known as the 60 Wall Tower, Cities Service Building, and American International Building) is a 67-story, 952-foot (290 m) residential skyscraper in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City, New York, U.S. Designed by the architectural firm of Clinton & Russell, Holton & George in the Art Deco style, 70 Pine Street was constructed between 1930 and 1932 as an office building. The structure was originally named for the energy conglomerate Cities Service Company (later Citgo), its first tenant. Upon its completion, it was Lower Manhattan's tallest building and, until 1969, the world's third-tallest building. The building occupies a trapezoidal lot on Pearl Street between Pine and Cedar Streets. It features a brick, limestone, and gneiss facade with numerous setbacks. The building contains an extensive program of ornamentation, including depictions of the Cities Service Company's triangular logo and solar motifs. The interior has an Art Deco lobby and escalators at the lower stories, as well as double-deck elevators linking the floors. A three-story penthouse, intended for Cities Service's founder, Henry Latham Doherty, was instead used as a public observatory. Construction was funded through a public offering of company shares, rather than a mortgage loan. Despite having been built during the Great Depression, the building was profitable enough to break even by 1936, and ninety percent of its space was occupied five years later. The American International Group (AIG) bought the building in 1976, and it was acquired by another firm in 2009 after AIG went bankrupt. The building and its first-floor interior were designated as official New York City landmarks in June 2011. The structure was converted to residential use in 2016.

Tontine Coffee House

The Tontine Coffee House was a coffeehouse in Manhattan, New York City, established in early 1793. Situated at 88 Wall Street, on the northwest corner with Water Street, it was built by a group of stockbrokers to serve as a meeting place for trade and correspondence. It was organized as a tontine, a type of investment plan, and funded by the sale of 203 shares of £200 each. The May 17, 1792, creation of the Buttonwood Agreement, which bound its signatories to trade only with each other, effectively gave rise to a new organization of tradespeople.
