1866
Primary School No. 11 moves into a two-story building at 31 Vestry Street in 1866
In the 1850s this lot held a mahogany yard and an iron yard. The city bought it from the Trinity Church Corporation in 1865, and the next year Primary School No. 11 moved here from 461 Greenwich Street into a two-story building. A four-story brick school had been built on the lot by 1879. These were earlier buildings on the site, now occupied by a newer building.
“In 1865 the City acquired from the Trinity Church Corporation this lot, on which a mahogany yard and an iron yard had been located in the 1850s.”

Around 1906 the school building on this lot became a storehouse for the Department of Education. It was demolished in 1932 and the fifty-one-foot-wide site was turned into a parking lot. The city sold the lot to Saul Essenfield in 1962. This describes an earlier building on the site.
