Joseph Naylor forms a building and real estate firm with his son Henry
Joseph Naylor, a building contractor and real estate investor, formed Joseph Naylor & Company in 1859 with his son Henry. Together they owned more than a dozen commercial properties in lower Manhattan, and Henry is recorded as the owner of Nos. 9, 11 and 13 Worth Street. The firm dissolved in the early 1880s, though both men kept investing in real estate.
