    A short newspaper ad sells most of the Triangle's lots within months

    Mathias Banta had the Stuyvesant garden surveyed into lots by March 1859, and on March 28 a modest ad in the Times and Herald offered new houses on the south side of Tenth Street. Most lots in the Triangle sold within a few months, for $7,800 to $13,250, to investors rather than future residents. Construction of the row, including 27 Stuyvesant Street, began that spring and was recorded as complete in 1861.
