Back to Historic MAPS

The northern half of City Point. Compare with 1868 wall map: in the nine years since they first were offered for sale, relatively few of the Hallock building lots have been sold. Most of the new homes are in a cluster of modest "workers houses" around the intersection of Second St. and Greenwich Ave., built c. 1868 to c. 1871. The block of Greenwich between Third & Second seems to include 338 [with its unusual bargeboard], 348,352,356 & 362; the 2 lonely houses on the next block southward are likely 296 & 262, which remarkably have undergone few alterations [thus far...]. The row on Second St. are 86 [a corner grocery owned by Francis Hogan], 84, 80 [originally an exact duplicate of 84], 78 [originally a rare vernacular Gothic], & 76 [destroyed by fire c. 1990]. The single house near the corner of First & Howard likely is 317 Howard, an Italianate Villa whose square porch posts later were replaced with round Colonial Revival posts. 221 Howard also can be seen [with bargeboards identical to 338 Greenwich]
