    Spofford & Tilletson, commission merchants, put up this pair of buildings in 1835-36. Their own store stood at 149 Water Street, so the landmarks commission believes they used Peck Slip only for storage, if they occupied it at all. The four brick upper stories survive, with windows that grow shorter toward the roof, while the original Greek Revival ground floor has been altered.

    “…built for Spofford & Tilletson, commission merchants who, if they occupied the building at all, used it only for storage purposes, since their store was at 149 Water Street.”
