John Harris owns a new $6,500 house at 65 East 7th Street, later made a tenement
In 1843 city tax records list John Harris as owner of a house here valued at $6,500. It had been built after 1841. The Landmarks Preservation Commission believes the single-family house was later converted into the tenement that stands here, since the footprint changed only by a rear-yard extension. Housing inspectors listed it as a multiple dwelling by 1909, and its neo-Grec details probably date from the conversion.
“Tax records indicate the existence of a house on this lot in 1843, owned by John Harris and valued at $6,500 (constructed after 1841).”
