    Haviland china agent Albert Love buys this lot at a bankruptcy auction

    In September 1877 Albert A. Love, the American agent of the Haviland glass and china company, bought the lot at 104 Westervelt Avenue at a bankruptcy auction. He soon built a three-story frame house on it, which was altered in 1886 and still stands behind the one-story stores added in 1930. The purchase came during a lull: no new buildings went up in the district's area between 1874 and 1878.
