    Phillip Schaeffer and George Fisher take the lease on a new Whitney tenement at 324 East 6th Street

    Around 1863 the heirs of Stephen Whitney built this five-story tenement on land the family had bought in 1825. They leased it at once to Phillip Schaeffer and George Fisher, who acted as the middlemen between owners and tenants. In 1907 Joseph Buttenweiser bought this lot and several adjacent ones from the Whitney heirs.
