I am looking for any historical photos or drawings showing details of
the facade of the building located at 245 Water Street in New York's
South Street Seaport district.

I am only interested in photos/drawings showing the building *before*
1950. I am only interested in this specific building, not in pictures
of buildings that are similar.

The building is located on Block 97, Lot 55 and appears to have been built in 1837.

Thanks!

Hi bigjosh-ga,

Unfortunately I wasn?t able to locate the exact photograph that you
require. In any case I am posting my findings as a comment for your
review.

Do any of the above photos help?

These are very cool pictures, but even the closest is a couple of
blocks away from the building I need. Thanks!
