KING.564.1Scope and Content
Constructed ca. 1814-1825. The three-story brick house at originally occupied a 65' by 231' King Street lot formed by joining sections of a large parcel that had belonged to planter Stephen Lee. Mr. Lee died in 1808, and his holdings at the southeast corner of King and Spring Streets were platted into large lots and sold off. First, Jacob Alison and Regina Alison sold Lot 3 (65' by 181') on King Street for $1500 in August 1810 to Mordecai Cohen who flipped it in January 1811 to Thomas Fleming for $1770. Next, Mr. Fleming bought Lot 5 (50' by 226') on Spring Street that abutted Lot 3 at the rear for $600 at an auction of December 1, 1813, from the estate of Mr. Lee. Mr. Fleming pared off part of the Spring Street property and added it to the rear of the King Street lot to deepen the King Street property to 231'. (Eberle, 2020.)
