   Around 1834 Francis Cooper became the first owner of this brick row house at 228 Thompson Street, built three stories tall over a basement. Its heavy brownstone doorway with columns and an entablature, a transom and sidelights remain, and the lower stories are laid in Flemish bond.

2. 1880

   Lydia Marquette has the old row house raised a full story and given a bracketed cornice

   In 1880 the owner, Lydia M. Marquette, hired the builder J. W. Palmatier to alter the house at 228 Thompson Street. He raised it from three stories and a basement to four full stories. The molded window lintels, projecting sills and bracketed Queen Anne cornice most likely date from that work, and they sit on top of the earlier Greek Revival house.
