Castle Garden, the circular sandstone fort that once guarded New York Harbor, is the subject here, with Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty rising in the background. Built on a small island off the Battery as Castle Clinton, the fort later served as a popular outdoor concert hall and then as the city's immigrant processing center from 1855 to 1890, before Ellis Island took over that role. The statue's presence in the view reflects the years when the massive copper figure was being assembled and set in place in the harbor, a link between the site's immigration history and the gift from France. Notice how the old fort's rounded walls contrast with the monument's rising form.
