A Federal-era dwelling at 158 Spring Street, built for George Wragg, later gains a fourth floor
No. 158 is one of the dwellings George Wragg developed on the south side of Spring Street around 1819. Sometime in the third quarter of the 19th century its peaked roof was taken off and a fourth story added. Later changes gave it a modern storefront and removed its roof cornice, according to the Landmarks Preservation Commission.
“No. 158 and 162 had their original peaked roofs removed and a fourth story added sometime in the third quarter of the 19th century.”
