This lot was bought in 1801 by John Ferriss, a cartman, who put up a two-story frame house with a brick front around 1802. It was twenty-one feet wide, with a pitched roof and central dormer. George Burras, a customs inspector, lived there from 1804 to 1808. A storefront was later cut into the ground floor. This was an earlier building on the site of today's lot.
