In 1852 Aaron D. Patchin, the man for whom nearby Patchin Place is named, erected a row of five brick buildings that includes No. 455. They stayed at three stories, with stores on the ground floor and living quarters above. By 1969 the district report noted that Nos. 453 and 455 had gained large triple windows at the second floor, and that No. 455 had a fire escape for multiple tenants.
“This row of five brick buildings ... was built in 1852 by Aaron D. Patchin, after whom Patchin Place was named.”
