This Georgian style gray stone structure served as New York City's largest prison. The name of the building came from a common 18th century English term for a jail. In 1776, when British forces occupied New York City, hundreds of captured American soldiers were held in The Bridewell. The raised stone markers placed inside City Hall Park indicate the original location of the structure.
