Fulton Fish Market: East River Pier No. 18 (North Dock). A set of 3 views photographed at the above location and showing various activities at this fish receiving point. Note the market building collapse in the smaller of these views. This structure was at the rivers edge and was primarily used for the sale and delivery of the commodity that gives this zone its name. The buildings shown here are on the opposite side of South Street and house the overflow from the market. 1936 Views: 1-2-3 W. P. A. Photo Federal Writers Project
