Designed by Cass Gilbert in the Beaux-Arts style, it was constructed between 1902 and 1907 by the United States government as the headquarters for the Port of New York’s duty collection operations.
• Charging Bull (Wall Street Bull) - Charging Bull, also known as the Bull of Wall Street or the Bowling Green Bull, is a bronze sculpture situated on Broadway just north of Bowling Green in Manhattan’s Financial District, New York City. The 7,100-pound (3,200 kg) bronze sculpture was created by artist Arturo Di Modica, who was born in Vittoria, a small town in the province of Ragusa, Sicily, on January 26, 1941. Standing 11 feet (3.4 m) tall and measuring 16 feet (4.9 m) long, it depicts a bull, symbolizing financial optimism and prosperity. Charging Bull is a popular attraction that draws thousands of visitors daily, representing Wall Street and the Financial District.

The site played a significant role in history before, during, and after the American Revolution. At various times, Fraunces Tavern served as a headquarters for George Washington, a venue for peace negotiations with the British, and housed federal offices in the Early Republic.
• New York Stock Exchange - The history of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) began in 1792 with the Buttonwood Agreement and evolved from an informal gathering of brokers into the world’s largest and most influential stock exchange, transitioning from manual open outcry to advanced electronic trading.
• 23 Wall St - At noon, a horse-drawn wagon passed by lunchtime crowds on Wall Street and stopped across from the headquarters of the J.P. Morgan & Co. bank at 23 Wall Street, on the Financial District’s busiest corner. Inside the wagon, 100 pounds (45 kg) of dynamite with 500 pounds (230 kg) of heavy, cast-iron sash weights exploded in a timer-set detonation, sending the weights flying through the air. The horse and wagon were blown into small fragments, but the driver was seen by witnesses leaving the vehicle and escaping down a side street.
• Trinity Church - Trinity Church is a historic parish in the Episcopal Diocese of New York. The church is located at 89 Broadway opposite Wall Street, in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York City. Known for its centuries of history, prominent location, and distinguished architecture, Trinity’s congregation is described as “high church,” with activities based on the traditions of the Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communion in missionary outreach and fellowship. In addition to its main church, Trinity parish maintains two chapels: St. Paul’s Chapel, also in Lower Manhattan, and the Chapel of St. Cornelius the Centurion on Governors Island.
• Brookfield Place - Walk the steps of 9/11 Hero responders as they searched for survivors within the depths of the destroyed Westfield World Trade Center mall.
• The Oculus - Traverse the Oculus at Ground Zero, the former location of the World Trade Center Mall, one of the routes used by survivors to escape the collapsed buildings via the Subway. Listen to the stories of bravery and sacrifice to evacuate hundreds of survivors trapped when the North Tower fell. Observe the hidden architectural details that memorialize the site’s history, which most visitors miss.
• St. Paul’s Chapel - St. Paul’s Chapel opened in 1766 as an outreach center for Trinity Church’s expanding congregation. It was a “chapel-of-ease” for those who did not want to walk a few blocks south along unpaved streets to Trinity. A decade later, the Great Fire of 1776 destroyed the first Trinity Church, but St. Paul’s survived, thanks to a bucket brigade that ran from the Hudson River up to the chapel’s roof. Until the second Trinity Church was rebuilt in 1790, many, including George Washington, made St. Paul’s their spiritual home. On April 30, 1789, after Washington took the oath of office to become the first president of the United States, he made his way from Federal Hall on Wall Street to St. Paul’s Chapel, where he attended services. Saint Paul’s played a pivotal role during 9/11 by housing first responders and providing a place for families to search for their loved ones.

The pools are set within a plaza where more than 400 swamp white oak trees grow.
