Situated near the Exchange Place, this giant octagonal clock facing the Hudson River is a popular landmark. This clock was built in 1924 making it one of the oldest structures in the vicinity. The Colgate Clock was fitted with LED lights in 2013 making it more attractive than ever. This gigantic clock was relocated from the top of Colgate's plant that was situated at Hudson Street.
Not many tourists visit the Tweed Courthouse but head here if you want an insider look at New York's politics with all its scandals. This stately Neoclassical building is typical of 19th century Victorian architecture in America. It is a designated National Historic Landmark and New York City Landmark, and listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In fact, after the City Hall facing it, this courthouse is the city's second oldest government building. Formerly known as the site of a major political scandal, today, it houses the city's Department of Education and is open to guided tours. The courthouse has also been filmed for movies like Gangs of New York and Kramer vs. Kramer.
