  1. 1840

    A five-story Greek Revival warehouse with granite piers goes up on Water Street between 1836 and 1840

    The warehouse is a characteristic Greek Revival commercial building of its day. Large granite piers flank its three ground-floor openings and carry a simple granite architrave with a cornice. A granite trough, stoop and vault apron survive at the sidewalk, and the trough once carried rainwater away from the roof downspout.
