    Francis Kane has a Federal-period house built at 353 Sixth Avenue, part of a row of three

    Three Federal houses went up together in 1829 at Nos. 353, 355 and 357 Sixth Avenue. Nos. 353 and 355 were built for Francis Kane, and No. 357 for Peter Hagerman. By the time the district was designated in 1969 the three were four stories high with roof cornices, and all had stores at street level.

    “These three houses, built in 1829, in the Federal period, are now four stories high with roof cornices.”
