Theodore Banks owns a new $4,500 single-family house at 49 East 7th Street
Tax records for 1855 list a structure on this lot owned by Theodore Banks and valued at $4,500, built after 1854. It began as a single-family house. Housing inspection records show it was a multiple dwelling by 1902, though the conversion to a tenement probably came before 1900, and its present front likely dates from that conversion.
