A house here is assessed at $7,500 under owner Thomas Lawrence, then numbered 82 Amity Street
Tax assessments list a house on this lot in 1841-42, owned by Thomas Lawrence and valued at $7,500. It carried the number 82 Amity Street until the 1850s, when the street's numbering shifted. The Landmarks Preservation Commission thinks the house may have matched its neighbors and was probably an investment built by the estate of John Ireland. From 1912 or earlier it was combined with 82 West 3rd Street, and from 1906 to at least 1958 the pair show up in building filings as stores and lofts or three-story factories.
