Dr. Austin Sherman has No. 448 Sixth Avenue built, a decade after its neighbors
Around 1845 Dr. Austin Sherman, who owned a good deal of property in the neighborhood, had Nos. 446 and 448 Sixth Avenue erected, roughly ten years after the two houses built for John H. Martine next door. Each was a small three-story brick house with a store on the ground floor. By 1969 No. 448 had lost its original front to a modern brick facade with metal casement windows.
“Nos. 446 and 448 were erected a decade later, in the mid-Eighteen forties, for Dr. Austin Sherman, who owned considerable property in the neighborhood.”
