Work began in April 1877 and ended that July on a building at 118 Prince Street that put a store at street level and living quarters above. The architect was John G. Prague and the owner was S. Ellery Anderson. It rose five stories; only two stand now. The Landmarks Preservation Commission points to this house and its neighbor at No. 116, both built as tenements, as a sign that the block was still partly residential in 1877.
“Nos. 116 and 118 were built as tenements in 1877, an indication that this block was still being used for residential purposes at this late date.”
