	Castle Clinton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Castle Clinton or Fort Clinton is a circular sandstone fort and national monument in Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan, New York City.
		The US Army stopped using the fort in 1821 and it was leased to New York City as a place of public entertainment and it opened as Castle Garden on July 3, 1824, a name by which it was popularly known for most of its existence, even to the present time.
		Castle Garden was designated a National Monument in 1946, but no effort at rehabilitation was made for decades.

	Castle Garden
		Castle Garden has upon its western side dock, at which comes the steamboat or barge, loaded with the emigrants who have been taken off the passenger vessels.
		Castle Garden is a dilapidated rotunda surrounded by equally ramshackle structures for the housing of the strangers on these shores, and the whole ugly conglomeration is likely to be razed to the ground when the immigrant station is established.
		The Garden stands on the sea wall which curves around the eastern side and lower end of Battery Park, once the breathing spot of the city, and still one of teh most attractive parts on account of the beautiful view it affords of the bay dotted with islands and filled with shipping.

	Ancestry.com - Castle Garden: The Forgotten Gateway

		This baroque garden north of the castle, laid out by Frederik IV in the early 18th century, became one of the finest in the country.
		The gardens were built around a central axis, creating a sense of continuity between building, garden, and the open land.
		The garden existed for 40 years and enjoyed the patronage of three kings -- Frederik IV, Christian VI, and Frederik V. The last remains of the cascade were removed during the reign of Christian VII (1766-1808), presumably because the garden had grown out of style and become too expensive to maintain.
