Whitehall Street and its surrounding neighborhood sit at the southern tip of Manhattan. The street is about four blocks long and extends from the southern end of Broadway to the southern end of FDR Drive. Whitehall’s history began with the building of the Governors’ house built by Peter Stuyvesant. Both the street and building were named “Whitehall” for England’s seat of government, Whitehall, London, when the British took over. The mansion is long gone but the area has a surprising number of attractions to visit. A military induction center was once located at 39 Whitehall before being bombed by Sam Melville in 1969. The Army building existed from 1884 to the end of the Vietnam War and saw close to 3 million Americans being inducted.
