South Street Seaport panorama #22
This is the north side of Peck Slip, between Front and South Streets. 257 Front Street and 43 Peck Slip are part of a Con Ed substation designed by Edward L. Barnes, built in 1974. The Peck Slip side of 257 is decorated with a famous trompe-l'œil mural by Richard Haas depicting a Federal Style store and an arcade opened to the Brooklyn Bridge. 45 Peck ("Jasper Ward House") was part of a row of buildings erected in 1806-7 for Jasper Ward, a merchant.
#22 in my series of panoramas documenting every block in the South Street Seaport Historic District. I say a little more about the Historic District on my landmarks blog.
