1848
Liquor merchants John and Diederick Westfall build 310 State Street as one of a four-house row
No. 310 State Street went up in 1847-48 as one of four Greek Revival houses, Nos. 310 to 316, commissioned by the liquor merchants John and Diederick Westfall. The brothers had bought the lots in September 1847, and by 1848 both were living in newly built houses in the row.
“The Westfalls, who were liquor merchants, acquired the four lots for Nos. 310-316 in September 1847, and they commissioned the construction of the row.”

1973
The city designates 310 State Street a landmark for its Greek Revival doorway
The Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the 310 State Street House an individual landmark in 1973. The report says it shows the purest Greek Revival detailing on its stretch of the street and is among the best preserved of the four houses in the Westfall row. The doorway has Doric pilasters, a low pediment, sidelights and its original four-panel door.
