392 Mtaa wa Magharibi // 6 Mtaa wa Weehawken

Iliyojengwa mnamo 1834, hii nyumba ya kuvutia yenye alama ya kihistoria inayo mita 28.25 x 28.84 inasimama karibu bila kubadilika kutoka jinsi ilivyokuwa katikati ya karne ya 19 yenye paa lililo katika mwinuko mkali na ngazi ya upande kwenye mlango wa Weehawken.

Nyumba hii ya mbao yenye ghorofa mbili na nusu, inayo upande wa shingo, ina ukubwa wa futi za mraba 2400 inasemekana kuwa nyumba ya zamani zaidi inayosimama katika Greenwich Village. Na matoleo yake mbalimbali juu ya karne mbili yanaonyesha mabadiliko makubwa yaliyotokea katika sehemu hii ya West Village, hatua chache kutoka Mto Hudson. Hadithi ya 6 Mtaa wa Weehawken (392 Mtaa wa Magharibi) inaanza mnamo miaka ya 1830. Wakati huo, mtaa mdogo wa Weehawken ulibuniwa katika eneo la zamani la Gereza la Newgate.

Baada ya kufungwa kwa Newgate, jiji liliamua kubadilisha mali hiyo kuwa soko la mboga, nyama, na samaki lililoitwa Soko la Greenwich (moja ya masoko mengi ya wazi kando ya Mto Hudson wakati huo) lililozungukwa na Mtaa wa Christopher na Mtaa wa Amos, jina la karne ya 19 kwa Mtaa wa Magharibi wa 10 wa leo. Katika miaka ya 1920, toka mfumo wa marufuku uanzishwe, 6 Weehawken ilikua "Nyumba ya Mchuzi wa Pweza ya Billie" na katika miaka ya 1940 kuwa duka la rejareja lililouza mavazi ya kazi, glavu za ngozi, tumbaku, na mchanganyiko wa vitu vya ajabu vinavyopendwa na wanamaji na wapakaji.

Ikiwa na uso wa barabara zote mbili za Mtaa wa Magharibi na Weehawken, na imepangwa kwa matumizi ya kibiashara kama vile makazi, hii gem ya kimaisha inasubiri toleo lake linalofuata.

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.
