733-735 Conti Street

Erected: c. 1838-1840
Architect: unknown
Builder: unknown

The center one of the row of five houses, the background of which is the same as the one at 725-727 Conti Street. This house was sold by Juan de Egana to Zenon Cavelier in September 1845 and by his heirs to J. W. Hincks in 1851. It remained in the Hincks-Schmidt-de la Vergne family until 1917. This house has been but slightly changed in its façade since its erection, except for the addition of the third floor balcony, the loss of the first and third story shutters and the changing of a first floor window into a doorway.
