    The peaked roof at 226 Front Street is lowered and another story added

    No. 226 belongs to a row of four built in 1798-1800 on land bought by Peter Schermerhorn and Ebenezer Stevens, and the LPC report thinks it may be an altered original because no demolition is on record. In 1858 it was listed at two and a half stories. In 1897 its peaked roof was lowered and another story was added, and the facade today is plain.
