    A five-story store building rises at 83-85 Wooster for Mary Barbey, later held by the Lorillard estate

    The landmark district report dates 83-85 Wooster to 1876 and attributes it, with the word presumably, to architect J. B. Snook. The listed owner was Mary Barbey, who may have been a Lorillard heir or a trustee for the family. By 1899, when the building was altered, the owner was recorded as the Lorillard Estate. It stands five stories and five bays wide, with a brick and stone front over an iron storefront and cornice.
