The Hulse family buys the Escoriaza estate and begins selling lots
Around 1900 this corner lot belonged to the estate of Ladislao de Escoriaza, a Manhattan merchant. The Hulse family bought the property from him in 1906 and started selling it off in building lots in 1908. This fifty-by-one-hundred-foot corner lot was one of them, and Dr. Cochrane's house went up on it in 1926-28.
“The estate was gradually sold off in lots beginning in 1908 by the Hulse family, who had purchased the property from Escoriaza in 1906.”

Robert Waterman Gardner and William Henry Hoffman, two well-known Staten Island architects, designed this two-and-a-half-story neo-Colonial brick house, built in 1926-28, as both home and medical office for Dr. Herbert A. Cochrane, who practiced on the premises. The office sits in a one-story brick extension on the Westervelt Avenue side. It was one of the last houses built in what became the St. George/New Brighton Historic District.
