   J. Morgan Slade designed this seven-story neo-Grec warehouse around 1882-83 for George P. Slade, with William G. Slade as the builder. It is the mirror image of 148-150 Franklin Street next door, and the pair were put up under a single building application. Together they replaced four earlier structures.

   “…erected c. 1882-83 for George P. Slade, this structure is the mirror image of the building at No. 148-150, built under the same New Building Application.”
