    A neo-Colonial frame house rises on lots sold off from the de Escoriaza estate

    Around 1900 this land belonged to the estate of Manhattan merchant Ladislao de Escoriaza. The Hulse family bought it from him in 1906 and began selling it off in lots in 1908. This two-and-a-half-story house, whose owner and architect remain unknown, went up about 1909 and appears on a site map by 1910. In 1925 stockbroker Henry G. Bonnelle and his wife lived in it.
