1882
Two hayloft-and-stable buildings at 303 and 305 East 6th Street are converted into tenements with shops
By 1882 the two neighboring buildings on this lot, put up around 1872-73 for John Hock, were working as haylofts with stables on the ground floor. That year alteration plans were filed with the Buildings Department, and architect John M. Forster turned each into a multi-family house with stores at street level. Each was to hold three families, and the Neo-Grec details were probably added to the building then.
“By 1882, there were at least two properties on the lot functioning as haylofts with stables on the first story.”
