   One of three Greek Revival warehouses on Pearl Street carries a brickwork symbol linked to Ithiel Town

   In the early 1830s a trio of Greek Revival warehouses went up on Pearl Street between Maiden Lane and Platt Street, and a Place Matters nomination later called them the last relics of the old Pearl Street mercantile district. The earlier building at 211, built for William Colgate, has a brickwork symbol that the nominator thought was most probably by Ithiel Town of Town & Davis. By then 211 had been gutted, with only its facade kept.
