1867
Jeremiah Pangburn is assessed for No. 71 on the old Van Nest block
When this row of houses was first assessed in 1867, No. 71 went to Jeremiah Pangburn, listed as an agent. He was also assessed for No. 79 farther along the row, where he stayed a year before moving around the corner to the Perry Street side. The row went up after the Van Nest estate was opened for development, and the architect William H. Hume's plans were almost certainly used for it.
“No. 79 to Jeremiah Pangburn, agent, who lived here for a year before moving to the Perry Street side of the block; ... and No. 71, likewise, to the above-mentioned Jeremiah Pangburn.”
