    In 1827 Isaac Blauvelt, a cartman, had No. 118 Charles Street built as a rental property. The house is very narrow, three stories high over a basement, and has Federal-style lintels. It stands on a lot that extends back to 531 Hudson Street, which Blauvelt also owned. He later built No. 120 next door, and the two houses have since been joined into one.

    “…built on separate lots for Isaac Blauvelt, cartman, for rental income. No. 118, an extremely narrow three-story house, over a basement, with Federal style lintels, was erected in 1827…”
