Carter William Faulkner has Nos. 30 and 32 Eighth Avenue built as a pair
Nos. 30 and 32 Eighth Avenue were erected in 1841 for William Faulkner, a carter, whose trade was hauling goods by horse and wagon. The two three-story brick houses were identical until the doorway at No. 30 was converted to a basement entrance. Both kept their muntined windows and plain wood cornices, and the splayed lintels are similar throughout the pair.
“The buildings were built for William Faulkner, carter.”
