Additional Description: Showing the “wall” (now Wall Street) as the upper boundary. Proposals for the construction of this wall were issued in March, 1653, and from the rough drawing attached to the proposals the accompanying plan has been made. The wall was originally built by the Dutch as a means of defense against their New England neighbors. -- The Century Book of the American Colonies, 1900, by Elbridge Streeter Brooks.
