A fire in 1870 is to blame for the loss of the buildings

That white plaza in the right foreground is still there today, and the building behind it (26 Court Street) was rebuilt about 100 years ago to look like it has since the early 19th century (several big imposing columns). Plus, the top of Court Street that curls around into City Hall Plaza, where the Steaming Kettle is (now on a Starbucks), is more consistent with the older architecture.
My point is that when you’re walking Court Street it is more historically interesting than some of the current online views suggest.

Sure the buildings are lost but it doesn’t mean we can’t build in the style anymore.

The States were more charming until they started wiping all “old” buildings and built skyscrapers and blocks
