392 West Street // 6 Weehawken Street

Dette fredede hus, der blev opført i 1834 og måler 28,25 x 28,84 fod, står næsten uændret, siden det så sådan ud i midten af 1800-tallet, med sit stejlt hældende tag og udvendige trappe ved indgangen fra Weehawken Street.

Dette halvandetplans træhus på 2.400 kvadratfod med tagspån siges at være det ældste hus, der stadig står i Greenwich Village. Alle dets forskellige anvendelser gennem to århundreder afspejler de enorme forandringer, der fandt sted i denne del af West Village, kun få skridt fra Hudsonfloden. Historien om 6 Weehawken Street (392 West Street) begynder i 1830’erne. Det var da, den lille Weehawken Street blev anlagt på det tidligere område for Newgate State Prison.

Efter lukningen af Newgate besluttede byen at omdanne området til et marked for frugt og grønt, kød og fisk, kaldet Greenwich Market (et af mange udendørsmarkeder langs Hudsonfloden på det tidspunkt). Markedet lå mellem Christopher Street og Amos Street, 1800-tallets navn for det, der i dag hedder West 10th Street. I 1920’erne, mens forbudstiden var i kraft, blev 6 Weehawken til “Billie’s Original Clam Broth House”, og i 1940’erne til en butik, der solgte arbejdstøj, kanvasvanter, tobak og et sært udvalg af alskens småting, som søfolk og havnearbejdere efterspurgte.

Med facader ud mod både West Street og Weehawken Street og en lokalplan, der tillader både erhverv og beboelse, venter denne alsidige lille perle på sin næste anvendelse.

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.
