Collins Line founder's office stands in an earlier building on this lot until 1956
Before the gas station, the lot at 88-90 South Street held three four-story brick buildings under one hipped roof, which stood until 1956. The corner building, No. 88, served as the office of E. K. Collins, founder of the Collins Line of transatlantic passenger steamships. The report says that line prospered until the late 1850s.
