    Three brick buildings, 36, 38 and 40 Peck Slip, were put up as a group in 1813 for the dry-goods merchants William and John Mott. The brothers kept their shops at 35 Peck Slip and 240 Water Street, so these three were most likely used only for storage. Each began as a three-story warehouse with a peaked roof and was later raised in height with its roof lowered.

    “Erected as a group in 1813, these three brick buildings were erected for William and John Mott, dry good merchants.”
