In 1821 the grocer John B. Martin bought this lot and built a brick dwelling, probably three and a half stories, where he lived into the 1840s. The tax value rose in 1852, which suggests the house was raised to four stories and turned to commercial use then. Its Flemish-bond brick and Federal-style lintels survive.
“In 1821 the grocer John B. Martin acquired the lot and built a brick dwelling in which he resided until the 1840s.”

The Edesheimer Brothers run a cider factory here, followed by a flour storage firm
The building was owned by the produce merchant David W. Lewis between the mid-1860s and the mid-1880s. In the 1880s he leased it to the Edesheimer Brothers, who set up a cider factory, and the girders were replaced for that work. In the 1890s W. Bullowa's Sons used it to store flour.
