Wall Street Between High Street and York Street- North Side



Sanborn 1886 Map:



1879 Bird's Eye View:
Only one building had a recorded address on this end of Wall Street. The building at the corner had been demolished by 1886 and was probably a rather early wooden house. Across the street, the entire block with the exception of the side of the rowhouses on High is empty, soon to be filled with an assortment of Richardsonian and brick rows.

125 Wall Street
Status: Demolished, 1928
Built for: Center Church House, 1870s
This five bay brick Second Empire house was built as the Center Church House for the congregation on the Green with a very elaborate segmental arched porch. An image can be seen here. Also noteworthy is the survival of the Greek Revival building of the Hopkins School, visible from this side behind the later Italianate school building.

Block Survival Rate: 0/1: 0%
