    By 1857 the owner was Michael Goggin, an upholsterer. He added a story, enlarged and extended the rear extension to the building line, refaced the front and installed a new cornice. The White Street side has five window openings per story, and the building has since served as a catering establishment on the ground floor with apartments above.
