    Painter and graphic artist DeHirsh Margules lives at 15 Christopher Street

    During the 1940s the painter and graphic artist DeHirsh Margules lived at 15 Christopher Street, one of the wood-frame, brick-fronted houses Samuel Whittemore built in 1827. The house had gained a third story by then, and a new basement store front was installed in 1924. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 1969 district report names Margules as a resident of No. 15.

    “The painter and graphic artist, DeHirsh Margules, lived at No. 15 during the Nineteen-forties.”
