Boat dealer Peter C. Schultz makes his home in the new French Second Empire house at 83 Charles Street
William H. Hume designed No. 83 in 1866 in the French Second Empire style, and his plans were probably reused for the matching houses stretching east to No. 71. When the city first assessed Nos. 83 and 81 in 1867, the bill went to Peter C. Schultz, a boat dealer who made his home at No. 83. A neighbor, No. 73, was assessed to William E. Dodge, a U.S. congressman who lived there.
