Castle Clinton
or Fort Clinton, once known as Castle Garden, is a circular sandstone
fort now located in Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan Island, New
York City, in the United States. The public outcry at the loss of a popular
recreation site and landmark stymied his effort at demolition, but the aquarium
was closed and not replaced until Moses opened a new facility on Coney Island
in 1957. See Brooklyn-Battery bridge. Source
