Fulton Street Transit Center Project, New York, NY (2010)

During work to stabilize the foundation of the Corbin Building, built in 1888, located at the northeast corner of Broadway and John Street in Lower Manhattan, a brick well was uncovered. A section was removed and analyzed by archaeologists who noted that it is larger than most wells found in Manhattan, suggesting it was perhaps a public well or part of a larger property. There is no associated collection. The Corbin Building is now part of the Fulton Transit Center.
