Dating from the 1830s, this building was a part of a
group of well-built, speculative row houses, of which only this structure
survives. Built from the
pages of pattern books such as that by Minard Lafever, at the time these
houses sat at the northeastern
edge of the city. This row house indicates the transition from the Federal
Style to the Greek Revival Style with the inclusion of such classical
elements as the colonettes surrounding the entrance. Saved by the Historic
Landmarks Society, this is a great and rare example of how upper middle
classes lived in the 1830's.
