The Schermerhorn Row became prime residential property in the later part of the 19th century, following the opening of the Brooklyn Ferry Terminal in 1814 and the Fulton Market in 1822.
Today the Schermerhorn Row has been restored as part olf the South Street development. Museum galleries now occupy it as well as shops and restaurants. The redevelopment was carried out in 2003. In the process, the buildings on Fulton Street were linked to the A.A. Low Building, creating expanded space for galleries. The Schermerhorn Row was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
