392 West Street // 6 Weehawken Street

Bygget i 1834 sidder denne bevaringsværdige charmerende bygning på 28,25 ft x 28,84 ft næsten uændret fra den måde, den så ud i midten af det 19. århundrede med sit stejle tag og side trappe ved Weehawken-indgangen.

Dette to-og-en-halv-etage shingelklædte, 2400 SF træhus siges at være det ældste hus, der stadig står i Greenwich Village. Og alle dens forskellige inkarnationer over to århundreder afspejler de enorme forandringer, der fandt sted i denne del af West Village, lige ved Hudsonfloden. Historien om 6 Weehawken Street (392 West Street) begynder i 1830'erne. Det var da den lille Weehawken Street blev skabt på den tidligere grund, hvor Newgate State Prison lå.

Efter at Newgate blev lukket, besluttede byen at omdanne ejendommen til et marked for grøntsager, kød og fisk kaldet Greenwich Market (et af mange udendørs markeder langs Hudsonfloden på det tidspunkt), afgrænset af Christopher Street og Amos Street, 19. århundredes navn for det nuværende West 10th Street. I 1920'erne, mens forbudet var i kraft, blev 6 Weehawken til "Billie's Original Clam Broth House" og i 1940'erne en detailbutik, der solgte arbejdstøj, lærredshandsker, tobaksprodukter og en underlig samling af diverse ting, som søfolk og kajarbejdere ønskede.

Med facade både mod West Street og Weehawken, og zonet til både kommerciel og boligformål, venter denne alsidige lille perle på sin næste inkarnation.

392 West Street // 6 Weehawken Street

Built in 1834 this Landmarked 28.25 ft x 28.84 ft charmer sits almost unchanged from the way it looked in the mid-19th century with its steeply pitched roof and side staircase on the Weehawken entrance.

This two and a half story shingled, 2400 SF wooden house is said to be the oldest house still standing in Greenwich Village. And all of its various incarnations over two centuries reflect the enormous changes that took place in this part of the West Village, just steps from the Hudson River. The story of 6 Weehawken Street (392 West Street) begins in the 1830s. That's when tiny Weehawken Street was created on the former site of Newgate State Prison.

After Newgate was closed, the city decided to turn the property into a produce, meat, and fish market called Greenwich Market (one of many open-air markets along the Hudson River at the time) bounded by Christopher Street and Amos Street, the 19th century name for today's West 10th Street.In the 1920s, with Prohibition in effect, 6 Weehawken became "Billie's Original Clam Broth House" and in the 1940s a retail shoppe carrying work clothes, canvas gloves, tobacco, and a strange assortment of odds and ends desired by seafarers and dockwallopers.

With frontage on both West Street and Weehawken, and zoned for commercial as well as residential, this versatile little gem awaits its next incarnation.
