    Mason John Coddington builds two Federal houses at 88-90 Third Avenue

    Between 1835 and 1836, the mason John Coddington has two three-story buildings put up together at 88-90 Third Avenue. They are designed in the Federal style even though the period favors Greek Revival, as the Flemish bond brickwork and cornice with modillions and dentils show. They are the oldest surviving structures in the area.
