Square: 17 Lot Number: 22650
No change: main building -- green; rear additions -- brown. This is a c. 1834 3½- story masonry building with a brown-rated rear addition and a fine intact late 19th century store front. An archival drawing shows the original appearance of this double, five-bay building, one similar to that existing today, with the exception of its ground floor storefront, the first gallery (originally a balcony), and the disappearance of its two twin rear attached service ells.
