Stonecutters William and John Joyce rent No. 11 from builder Charles Oakley
No. 11 was one of four brick houses that the attorney Charles Oakley built at Nos. 9-15 Commerce Street to rent out. Its first tenants were the stonecutters William and John Joyce, who may have been involved in building the row. The doorway has Doric columns, giving it a more Greek Revival look than its neighbors, and its wrought-iron stair railings are the Federal originals.
“William and John Joyce, stonecutters, at No. 11, who may have been associated with the construction of the row.”
