Jane’s Walk at the Seaport Museum

Jane’s Walk at the Seaport Museum

Inside Thomson & Co.: A 19th Century Landmark, Revealed

Join the South Street Seaport Museum President and CEO Capt. Jonathan Boulware for a virtual walk through the historic Thomson & Co., currently under renovation at 213 Water Street. Watch layers of history literally peeling back to reveal secrets of this 19th century cast-iron building, spotlighting surprises like cart tracks in the basement, historic construction methods, and the machinery of an early elevator.

We’d love to here from you. After you watch the program, please fill out this brief survey.


213-215 Water Street was built in 1868 for A.A. Thomson & Co. A transcription error led to the building being referred to as “Thompson Warehouse” in the past. Click here for more details.
