The Whitehall Building is a 20-story skyscraper located at 17 Battery Place, across the street from Battery Park in lower Manhattan in New York City. The original building was constructed from 1902-1904 as a speculative office building designed by architect Henry Hardenbergh. It was named for Peter Stuyvesant's 17th-century home, "White Hall", which had been located nearby. It was converted to apartments in 1999. <a href=" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitehall_Building " rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitehall_Building</a> The Brooklyn–Battery Tunnel, officially known as the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel, is a toll road in New York City which crosses under the East River at its mouth, connecting the Borough of Brooklyn on Long Island with the Borough of Manhattan. The tunnel nearly passes underneath Governors Island, but does not provide vehicular access to the island. It consists of twin tubes, carrying four traffic lanes, and at 9,117 feet (2,779 m) is the longest continuous underwater vehicular tunnel in North America. It was opened to traffic in 1950. It currently carries the unsigned Interstate 478, and formerly carried New York State Route 27A. <a href=" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn_Battery_Tunnel " rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn_Battery_Tunnel</a> <a href=" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License " rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_...</a> |
