1847
A plain rowhouse is built for William Roberts on East 8th Street
William Roberts is the original owner of this house at 315 East 8th Street, built around 1847 and probably meant as a rowhouse. The facade has little ornament apart from an Italianate cornice. The star-shaped anchors and metal wall straps visible on the front were added later and are not part of the original building.
