The South Street Seaport District features some of the oldest architecture in downtown Manhattan, and includes the largest concentration of restored early 19th-century commercial buildings in New York City. Peck Slip itself was the site of the very first ferry service in the city, operated by Cornelius Dirckson with a small canoe.  The ferry ride cost 3 beads of wampum in 1630.  On the front of the Peck Slip school building, there is a beautiful piece of artwork by artist Duke Riley depicting this wonderful piece of history.
