The plaque on the right reads, "Castle Clinton National Monument, Ceded to New York City in 1823, Castle Clinton was renamed Castle Garden in 1824. Until 1855 it served as a public center and theater where public figures, including Lafayette, Kossuth, and President Jackson, were received, and artists such as Jenny Lind were presented. From 1855 to 1890, the structure was the nation's principal immigrant depot, with over 7 million immigrants entering its portals - the 'Gateway to the New World.'
