About 250 years ago, this waterfront area was a busy historical landscape centered on the Customs House across the street to the left. It was filled with the sounds of men working and discussing the latest news, ships being loaded and unloaded, and hogsheads being rolled down the hill. People came here to share stories, trade, and spend money. A small store run by Scottish merchants made use of all its space, and an inventory from the 1700's listed over 500 items for sale. In the mid-1700's, the rolling road to the left was the same road traveled today.
