notes

A park on the scale of London's Bloomsbury, with surrounding row houses too low to supply the same architectural containment. Within is a monument (Antonio de Filippo, sculptor) to the civil-war ship the Monitor (built in Greenpoint) and its designer, John Ericsson, and the Shelter Pavilion, in 18th-century French neo-Classical style.
