1. 1851

   Cooper William G. Talman builds and moves into 304 State Street

   William G. Talman, a cooper, bought the property in 1850 and had a house built that was finished about 1850-51. He moved in the following year. Much of the block went up in groups of houses built by their owners, but No. 304 was put up alone, not as part of a speculative row.

   “Talman, a cooper, bought the property in 1850 and moved into his newly built house the following year.”

2. 1973

   The city designates 304 State Street a landmark, a late Greek Revival house with an Italianate cornice

   The Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the 304 State Street House an individual landmark on November 20, 1973. Its painted brick front keeps a Greek Revival entrance with heavy pilasters and a block pediment, while the ornate Italianate cornice may have been added after the house was built. The report notes that the floors are lower than usual, which makes room for a further full story visible from the rear.

   “The cornice is of a highly ornate Italianate design and may postdate the original construction date of the building.”
