William H. Hume's row on Charles Street includes No. 81, first assessed to a boat dealer in 1867
William H. Hume designed No. 83 Charles Street in 1866, and his plans were used for the rest of the row running east to No. 71. These three-story brick houses have rusticated stone basements and a common cornice on console brackets. In 1867 No. 81 was first assessed to Peter C. Schultz, a boat dealer who lived next door at No. 83.
