The Ratzer Map – 1767 By 1767, the economic center of the city was beginning to form in the downtown area of New York City. The location and its proximity to shipyards and other centers of trade, such as Brooklyn, make downtown the perfect place for Wall Street to flourish. A Long, Long Time Ago…

Through Flickr, which we use in this presentation, photography has become universal and helps document its own progression while also recording all other kinds of history.
