Information & history on rear of plaque:
A 2-1/2 story wooden home that was the remaining half of an 18th century double tenement, was purchased in 1870 by George S. Cook as an investment. The eastern half, 22 South Battery, was purchased by Nathaniel Russell Middleton who had destroyed the original house to rebuild. Cook initially intended to rebuild his half as well, as it was in poor condition, but he later reconsidered and Deveraux was hired for the existing structure.
