    Henry Ward moves into a new marble-trimmed house at 23 Bond Street, now the site of No. 25

    An earlier house stood on this site: Henry Ward, brother of the banker Samuel Ward and uncle of Julia Ward Howe, moved into it in 1830 with his wife Eliza and young son Harry. It had a red-brick facade with marble trim and a Federal doorway with wrought-iron basket newels. Ward converted the attic into a studio for his sister-in-law Anne Hall, a miniature painter.

    The Ward house is left shuttered for three decades after Henry Hall Ward dies

    After Henry Hall Ward died in 1872 he left the house to his first cousin and fiancee Eliza Ann Partridge, whom family objections had kept him from marrying. She did not move in. She kept his servants dusting the rooms and admitted no strangers until her death in 1902. The family sold the house in 1904 for $44,000, and it was turned over to workshops and cheap millinery sellers.

    George Schieferdecker of BKSK designs a limestone-screened condominium that wins an AIA housing award

    The old Ward house was demolished and replaced by an eight-story Modern condominium designed by George Schieferdecker of BKSK Architects, built under zoning variances that allowed residential use. Completed in 2008 for Shinbone Alley Associates, it has an asymmetrical limestone screen wall and won a 2008 AIA Housing Award for multifamily housing. The sidewalk carries an incised design by Ken Hiratsuka.
