1865
David and John Jardine, who design 233 and 235 East 5th Street, form their architectural partnership
David Jardine, born in Scotland, trained under his builder-architect father and reached America in 1850. His brother John worked on the design of monitors and gunboats for the federal government during the Civil War, and in 1865 the two formed a partnership that lasted until David died in 1892. The LPC calls the firm one of the more prolific and versatile in the city and credits it with 233 and 235 East 5th Street, built around 1876.
“…the two brothers entered into partnership. The firm, which lasted until David's death in 1892, was one of the more prominent, prolific, and versatile architectural firms…”
