The State and National Registers of Historic Places are
the official lists of buildings, structures, districts, objects, and
sites significant in the history, architecture, archeology,
engineering, and culture of New York and the nation. The same
eligibility criteria are used for both the State and National
Registers. The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and the New
York State Historic Preservation Act of 1980 established the National
and State Registers programs. In New York, the Commissioner of the New
York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, who
is also the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), administers
these programs. Source: NYS

New York City
- Fort Clinton
- Castle Clinton or Fort Clinton is a circular
sandstone fort, now a national monument in Battery Park at the southern
tip of Manhattan, New York City.
- Construction began in 1808 and was completed in 1811.
The fort, known as West Battery (sometimes South-west Battery), was
designed by architects John McComb Jr. and Jonathan Williams. It was
built on a small artificial island just off shore. West Battery was
intended to complement the three-tiered Castle Williams (still extant)
on Governors Island, which was East Battery, to defend New York City
from British forces in the tensions that marked the run-up to the War
of 1812, but never saw action in that or any war. Subsequent landfill
expanded Battery Park, and incorporated the fort into the mainland of
Manhattan Island. As with all historic areas administered by the
National Park Service, Castle Clinton National Monument was listed on
the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.
From
Wikipedia
- Fort Clinton, just south of McGown's Pass, is
similarly unmarked, though not for lack of trying. In the 1910s, a
small mortar was unearthed at the fort's site and placed in a monument,
complete with plaque. From
