    A small rear house behind 21 King Street is advertised for $15 a month

    Like many houses on the block, 21 King Street had a small building in its back yard. In May 1869 the owner, iron founder John Nichol, advertised the second floor and part of the third floor of the front house for $55 a month. He also offered the small rear house for $15 a month, for adults only. Harriet Belmont, a widow, answered the ad.
