••• “The excavation and renovation of Collect Pond Park at Centre and Leonard Streets have unearthed a foundational link to the city’s criminal history. Archaeologists identified a collection of stones discovered under the site as belonging to one iteration of New York’s Tombs jail, where city prisoners have been held since 1839. The Tombs was built on top of the Collect Pond in 1838, after the freshwater reservoir was rendered useless by over-pollution and filled in. The recently discovered stones belonged to the second incarnation of the jail, built in 1902 and officially called the New York City Halls of Justice and House of Detention.” —Curbed (photo by Pete Davies)
