Twin houses at 11 and 13 Vandam Street go to auction with a gangway to the stables behind
Built from 1829 and finished in the spring of 1830, Nos. 11 and 13 Vandam Street are twin houses, each 25 feet wide, with a passage between them leading to the rear yards. No. 11 extends over part of that passage, giving it more room upstairs. An auction notice on March 18, 1830 advertised both houses on a 36-year Trinity Church lease, with brick stables in the rear, marble stoops, sliding doors and Egyptian marble mantels.

Samuel and Maria Scott take over the leases on 11 and 13 Vandam Street, apparently as boarding houses
In May 1885 the leaseholds on both 11 and 13 Vandam Street passed to Samuel and Maria Scott, who held the twin houses completed in 1830 on Trinity Church land. The Daytonian in Manhattan account says both houses appear to have been run as boarding houses at first.
