    A trucker's freight terminal replaces five Richard Amos houses on Greenwich Street

    Two low storage buildings put up in 1945 for a trucker's freight terminal took the place of five houses that had been owned by Richard Amos, a Revolutionary War veteran and large Village landowner. The terminal sat well back from Greenwich Street and wrapped around the corner to 260 West Tenth Street. The 1969 district report called the buildings strictly utilitarian and said they provided supplies for the community.

    “Two low-lying storage buildings for a trucker's freight terminal have taken the place of five houses which also were owned by Richard Amos.”
