Widening of Church Street takes down Samuel Babcock's store at 130 Duane Street, leaving a lot used by a gas station
Banker Samuel D. Babcock erected three stores on Duane Street in 1859-60, at numbers 128, 130 and 132. Church Street's widening in 1928-30 took down the first two. A service station put up on the cleared lot in 1934 was torn down in 1988, and the landmark designation report describes the site as a vacant lot used for parking.
“Nos. 128 and 130 were demolished when Church Street was widened in 1928-30. A service station on the lot, built in 1934, was demolished in 1988.”
