Entry/Object ID

WENTWORTH.134.1

Scope and Content

Constructed ca. 1803; partially restored and rehabilitated 1990s. This 2½ story corner residence built on a raised basement has a hipped roof with dormers in the Federal style. Theophilus Elsworth, a gauger at the Custom House, built this as his residence. The building once was used as a private academy run by the Stuart family. Another owner, Dr. Joshua Lockwood, a druggist, bought the property in 1889 and converted the ground floor into a pharmacy. It was during this time that the storefront and cast-iron columns were added. The building has since been subdivided into apartments, and the storefront is gone. File contains historical research notes, Statement of Significance, Description of Physical Appearance, and certification application continuation sheet describing work done on existing features (Preservation Consultants, undated) (see Laurens Collection).
