The census finds 12 families at 5 Jones Street, only one headed by a native-born American
Henry J. Wirth had the five-story tenement built around 1898, designed by Kurtzer & Rohl, on a street where Federal and Greek Revival rowhouses were giving way to tenements. When census enumerators came in 1900 they counted twelve families living there, and just one household had a native-born American at its head. Thirty years later most of the households were still headed by immigrants.
