Sanborn 1886 Map:
1879 Bird's Eye View:
The house on the corner of Temple Street is still extant. The Second Empire on the corner of College has been replaced by the current building. The block, mostly empty in 1879, quickly was filled with additional row houses, one set of which is still extant. The Bird's Eye view shows a gabled building to the right of 50-54, but there is no visual evidence of the building or what form it took, whether it was a house or a carriage house.
50-54 Wall Street
50-54 Wall Street
Status: Extant!
Built for: unknown, 1870s
A series of connected Second Empire rowhouses in brick with brownstone lintels which survive, although they were converted for retail in the early 20th century, destroying the first floor. The house to the left of the grouping is unique in having narrower windows in the center bay. The houses to the right were only two bays wide. There is one image of how the porches looked around the doors (seen below), but the original doors can be seen today, partially obscured by Colonial Revival designs from the remodel. The building is currently owned by the university.
