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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
