Fourteen years after he built No. 118 Charles Street, the cartman Isaac Blauvelt put up No. 120 on its own lot beside it, again to earn rent. The Landmarks Preservation Commission describes the 1841 house as a vernacular house of its period. The two buildings are now connected inside.
“No. 120 was built in 1841, and is an example of a vernacular house of the period.”
