Mason Abraham Frazee builds No. 52, and a cabinetmaker is among its first residents
Abraham Frazee, a mason working alongside Solomon Banta and other tradesmen, built No. 52 as one of five matching Greek Revival houses in 1839-40. Simeon Haines, a cabinetmaker, was an early or original resident. The wrought iron stoop railings, with openwork newel posts on low masonry bases, survive here and show how the row's other stoops probably looked.
“Abraham Frazee, mason (No. 52) ... Early or original residents of these houses were ... Simeon Haines, cabinetmaker (No. 52).”
