1. 1846

   Four Greek Revival brick houses go up at 105-111 Bank Street

   A row of four brick Greek Revival houses, Nos. 105 to 111 Bank Street, is built in 1846, each three stories high over a basement. Deeds name Dunham & Williams as builders of Nos. 109 and 111, and carpenter Henry Ten Broeck builds No. 107 as his own home. The district designation report concludes that they probably built the whole row together.
