    Daniel Kingsland puts up No. 42 in 1845 as a two-and-a-half-story house and is assessed $3,500 for it, yet the 1846 record shows an empty lot assessed to J. R. Stuyvesant at $1,700. The ground floor was remodeled in 1915 and a skylight was added in 1950, but the house keeps some of its original Greek Revival character.
