I lived in one of the tiny houses to the right. There are 2 little houses side-by-side. The owner of one told me they were carriage houses for a big house around the corner on 3rd. Our house has a weird set up. The rooms are small, bathroom in the hall and a narrow stairway in the hall. The stairs are a total waste of space. I dont understand why it was built that way. Maybe the buggy was stored on the first floor, which is one room with a tall ceiling, and the upper rooms were for the servants. I would love to know more about the history of the place.
My mother bought the place in the 1960's and ran a bodega on the first floor till the mid 80's.
