    Oliver and Thomas Williams turn three old Sullivan Street tenements into modern small apartments called Washington Green

    In 1930-31 Oliver and Thomas Williams, trading as Washington Green Inc., rebuilt 224, 226 and 228 Sullivan Street with their rear buildings, a project projected to cost $60,000. The storefronts installed by 1906 were removed, and a garden was laid out between the front and rear buildings. By the twentieth century the houses had held as many as 30 families each.
