Read more
Around 1835-36 developer Charles Oakley built four small houses, and no. 271 was one of them. It began as a two-story house and by the 1850s was already in mixed use. It was probably raised to three stories around 1855, when its tax assessment rose by $400. In 1896 a two-story extension was added for owner Samuel Luckey and his tenant Abraham Sandberg.
“…one of four small houses constructed for Charles Oakley c. 1835-36. By the 1850s, like many of the buildings in the area, no. 271 had been converted to mixed use.”
