Location: Fulton Fish Market, Fulton St, NY
This is the inside of the original Fulton Fish Market, originally established in 1822, They sold a variety of foodstuff's, but mostly they dealt with fish. In its day it was "the" place to get fish, it was fresh off the boat.
Stevedores would take it off the boat, weigh it, box it up and pack it on a truck. But by 1950, it was far less popular. Ships were packing it on the ship and putting it directly into the truck rather than using this hub.
