The Schermerhorn Row became prime residential property in the later part of the 19th century, following the opening of the Brooklyn Ferry Terminal in 1814 and the Fulton Market in 1822.
Today the Schermerhorn Row has been restored as part olf the South Street development. Museum galleries now occupy it as well as shops and restaurants. The redevelopment was carried out in 2003. In the process, the buildings on Fulton Street were linked to the A.A. Low Building, creating expanded space for galleries. The Schermerhorn Row was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
