Thomas Turner, a baker, bought this Carmine Street property in 1858, and by 1862 tax records showed a new building on it. He built three brick row houses around a rear courtyard, including 5A, reached by a long passage from the street and mostly out of sight. By the 1920s at least one of them held several households, among them the family of Angelo Ortolano, who bought the property in 1902.
“…constructed for Thomas Turner, a baker, between 1858 when he purchased the property and 1862 when assessments record the presence of a new building…”
