Actually, a fair number of the buildings in this photo still exist. The buildings on the block in the right center all still exist. (The building with the reddish awning is now a Best Western!) The little low grey building in the next block back was once known as the oldest building in New York (demolished in the 50s for a post office).

There's a web site with photos of the Seaport area back in the day. It would all be landmark turf now--I think. Old New York. Lost New York.
I can smell the fish guts just looking at this picture. May not look the same today, but it sure smells the same.
