    A second tenement is built behind the 1863 building in 1907

    In 1907 a second building was put up at the back of this lot and joined to the rear of the existing tenement, so that it is not visible from the street. Village Preservation lists Charles C. Schaefer as the owner of the rear building, while William B. Astor was the owner of the front building when it went up in 1863.
