A three-story brick row house is built at 113 East 12th Street for Lorenzo Burdett
Records point to Lorenzo D. Burdett as the original owner of the brick row house, built in 1849 or 1850 as a single-family home, though the 1849 tax record is missing. A fourth story and a new cornice are added later in the century, and the stoop entrance likely gives way to a basement-level entry when the house becomes a boarding house.
