1848
P. Roach has the corner house at 39 Greenwich Avenue built in 1848
No. 39 Greenwich Avenue, also 1-3 Charles Street, was built in 1848 for P. Roach, and Mary Young lived there in the early 1850s. Sometime after 1858 it was enlarged to run the full length of its Charles Street lot and raised to a full fifth story. The crenelated parapet that sets it apart from the rest of the row comes from that alteration.
“Originally, the house was built for P. Roach, and in the early Eighteen-fifties it was the home of Mary Young.”
