392 West Street // 6 Weehawken Street

1834. aastal ehitatud ja muinsuskaitse all olev võluv maja, mõõtmetega 28,25 × 28,84 jalga, on jäänud peaaegu muutumatuks alates 19. sajandi keskpaigast, mil sellel olid järsu kaldega katus ja küljetrepp Weehawken Streeti sissepääsu juures.

Seda kahekorruselist ja pööningukorrusega sindelvoodriga 2400-ruutjalast puumaja peetakse Greenwich Village’i vanimaks siiani säilinud majaks. Selle eri kasutusviisid kahe sajandi jooksul peegeldavad suuri muutusi, mis toimusid selles West Village’i osas, vaid mõne sammu kaugusel Hudsoni jõest. 6 Weehawken Streeti (392 West Street) lugu algab 1830. aastatel, kui tilluke Weehawken Street rajati endise Newgate’i osariigi vangla asukohale.

Pärast Newgate’i sulgemist otsustas linn rajada kinnistule toiduainete, liha ja kala turu nimega Greenwich Market — ühe paljudest tollastest Hudsoni jõe äärsetest vabaõhuturgudest. Turg asus Christopher Streeti ja Amos Streeti vahel; viimane oli 19. sajandi nimi tänasele West 10th Streetile. 1920. aastatel, keeluseaduse ajal, tegutses aadressil 6 Weehawken „Billie’s Original Clam Broth House“. 1940. aastatel oli seal jaekauplus, kus müüdi tööriideid, lõuendkindaid, tubakat ja meremeeste ning sadamatööliste soovitud kummalist valikut kõikvõimalikest asjadest.

Nii West Streetile kui ka Weehawken Streetile avaneva esiküljega ning nii äri- kui ka elamumaana tsoneeritud mitmekülgne väike pärl ootab oma järgmist kasutusviisi.

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.
