About 1811 William Orr, a weaver, built a dwelling near the Laight Street end of this block. Margaret Marshall, a milliner, occupied it for many years. In 1877 real-estate developer Jacob Weeks had a fourth story added, to designs by F. W. Klempt, along with probable ground-floor changes for commercial use.
