Owners of the former Rutgers Fire House at 3 Mott Street refuse to lease it to Chinese tenants
Before Chinese buyers began purchasing property on lower Mott Street in 1883, an earlier building on this lot, the former Rutgers Fire House, stood vacant at 3 Mott Street. Its owners refused to lease it to Chinese applicants. The National Register nomination cites historian Tyler Anbinder for the episode.
