Behind the Memorial is The 17 State Street Building of 1988. It occupies the curved plot at the intersection of State Street and Water Street. The architecture of the building creates the shape of a quarter of a circle and the most striking portion of the facade, the curving wall of bluish glass, faces south, distinguishably different from the 1970s buildings that have so far dominated the immediate surroundings of the South Ferry. On the left is the Battery Park Plaza and on the right is the 1 State Street Plaza building. In the foreground is the eagle statue by Albino Manca. Nesting beside the skyscrapers, the historic building at 7-8 Broad Street is the only remaining 18th Century private house in Downtown Manhattan (see the building at Birthplace of First U.S. Born Saint).
