David Lydig bought the water lots at the foot of Dover Street in 1801 and had the land filled in over the next six years. In 1807 he built this counting-house at 160 South Street. The next year he added a warehouse at 259 Front Street, and six years after that a third building at 36-38 Dover Street connected the earlier ones.
