1856
John Peterkin is taxed on a new $5,000 house at this address, later a five-story tenement
The lot was still empty on the 1852 Dripps map. By 1856 tax assessments listed a lot and house valued at $5,000 and held by John Peterkin. The Landmarks Preservation Commission believes this house was later altered into the present tenement, which a rear-yard extension filing of 1884 described as a five-story building of "stores and tenement".
“…first appears on 1856 tax assessments and is noted as a lot and house valued at $5,000 and owned (or leased) by John Peterkin…”
