The Schermerhorn Row Block is now part of South Street Seaport in lower Manhattan in New York City. The first buildings, Schermerhorn Row on Fulton Street, were built in 1811.

History

Peter Schermerhorn built these six counting houses in 1811 to serve the growing New York seaport.

No 2 & No 4 Fulton Street were occupied from 1847 to the 1990s by Sweet's Seafood House, for over a century New York City's oldest fish restaurant.

The buildings were purchased in 1974 by the State of New York.^[2]

During the 2003 redevelopment, these buildings, located on Fulton Street, were linked to the A.A. Low Building, which faces John Street, to create gallery space. The permanent exhibits include paintings by the maritime artist James E. Buttersworth.^[3] The block was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 18, 1971.
