1894
John Belsch has 184 Prince Street raised to four stories, probably adding a mansard roof
The row house at 184 Prince Street went up sometime between the 1830s and 1853. In 1894, under owner John Belsch, it was raised to four stories and probably given a Second Empire mansard roof with dormers and cresting. A wooden bay-window shop front was added at street level in 1907, and the mansard was later removed and a fifth story added after 1980, leaving the plain flat brick face seen today.
“The building was raised to four stories in 1894 under the ownership of John Belsch when a Second Empire mansard roof with cresting, dormers, and molded cornices was likely added.”
