Jane’s Walk at the Seaport Museum

Inside Thompson Warehouse: A 19th Century Landmark, Revealed

Join the South Street Seaport Museum President and CEO Capt. Jonathan Boulware for a virtual walk through the historic Thompson Warehouse, 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.
