First built in the 19th Century, it was located on the Lower East Side, directly on the cross streets of South Street and Wall Street. [1] Originally a shipping port, much like its depiction in the series, "Vendettas" would feature an anachronistic pier given that, from the 1950s to the early 2000s, it became the sight of dome-covered tennis courts for the Wall Street Racquet Club. It was during this time that Pier 13's courts were depicted in the 1977 film, Annie Hall. [2][3] By 2002, there were plans to build an extention of the Guggenheim Museum, but the project was ultimately abandoned and Pier 13 was demolished in 2007. [4]
