   Peter Schermerhorn and Ebenezer Stevens buy a water lot; buildings on Stevens's share once stood at 221-223 Front

   In 1795 Peter Schermerhorn and Ebenezer Stevens bought a water lot from William Beekman, and these lots lay on its extension. The buildings at 221 and 223 Front Street were put up on Stevens's land and looked something like the surviving 225 and 227 Front. They were earlier buildings on this site, which the LPC report describes as an empty lot.

   “These lots were part of the extension of the water lot Peter Schermerhorn and Ebenezer Stevens bought from William Beekman in 1795.”
