Couple of things to add: 1)in the picture on top, the thicker bars were topped with regal symbols such as orbs. These were knocked off by the Patriots on that July 9.

Most of the men who pulled the statue of George III down were slaves (NYC had a considerable number of slaves, and slavery was not illegal in NY State until 1821).

And finally, the second residence of President Washington in NYC was at 30 Broadway, just up a bit from Bowling Green.

That's something I didn't know. Very interesting.

Does that building still exist?
