Pier A Harbor House, Victorian pier at Battery Park, United States.

The maritime structure extends 285 feet into the Hudson River, featuring a clock tower and three-story building with waterfront views.

Constructed in 1886, Pier A served as headquarters for New York City Docks Department and later housed police and fire departments until 1992.

The clock tower, added in 1919, represents the first World War I memorial established in the United States, commemorating fallen service members.

The pier connects to Battery Park through pedestrian paths and bike lanes, with multiple subway stations and bus stops within walking distance.

This masonry pier remains the sole surviving structure of its type in Manhattan, demonstrating Victorian maritime architecture and engineering.

Location: Manhattan
