Lower picture on bottom is showing Marcy Street.......by the 1900's the maritime business gave away to candy stores, butcher shops, and groceries. Brothels, oyster houses, and stables thrived on Marcy St. (upper right picture as well as the bottom picture).

" the 19th century waterfront. Strawbery Banke Museum built this 19th century whaf as it was represented on the J.G.Hale's
map of 1813. in the 18th and 19th centuries, wharves lined both the north and south sides of the tidal inlet, seen today as an open grassy area. Active commerce on the south side
included a manufacturer of spars and wooden pumps, a tanner,and an apple processing company. There were several warehouses on the northern bank wharves. One warehouse became the Mckee Boiler Co., and later converted into tenenment housing. The Marden mast yard was located
immediately behind you." (no photo of the building,sorry).
