Port Richmond Square sits in the Port Richmond section of Staten Island, a neighborhood that developed along the Kill van Kull, the strait separating the island from Bayonne, New Jersey. The record gives no date for this print, so its exact moment is uncertain, but the area has long been tied to shipping, ferry traffic and waterfront industry, and the neighborhood's name points to that harbor setting. Views of local squares like this one help show how the borough's older commercial and residential streets grew up around the water. The caption information is unverified, so the scene's details are best checked against the original record.
