Stephen Peet, builder of No. 34 Bank Street, also builds a West Eleventh Street row and lives in one house
In 1836 Stephen B. Peet began a land-office business at 18 Nassau Street, and he went on to build No. 34 Bank Street with the rest of the row at Nos. 16-34 in 1844-45. At the same time he built a matching row of ten houses on West Eleventh Street, and he lived in one of them, No. 237, from 1844 to 1846. That house has since been replaced by an apartment house.
“…first opened a "land office" at 18 Nassau Street in 1836 and lived at No. 237 West Eleventh Street (formerly No. 31 Hammond Street) from 1844 to 1846.”
