Fair Street

MACRIS NWB.AH · area form, 1980

This survey covers Fair Street between Water Street and Liberty Street, where the buildings date from 1840 to 1890. Numbers 8, 10 and 12 are altered Greek Revival houses with gables to the street; only number 8 keeps a Greek Revival doorway. Early occupants included Samuel G. Swain at number 10 and pump and block maker Elias Pike, who ran his business at number 12 and lived at 11 Pike Street. Number 14-16 is a later shingled building.

On the odd side, 5-7 and 9-11-13 are two-story Greek Revival multi-family houses with sidelighted doorways. Number 1-3 appears to have been moved to the site. Number 15 is Italianate; in 1872 it belonged to furniture dealer Jere R. Ireland. Numbers 19 and 21 were built between 1851 and 1872. The recorder found the street little changed since the turn of the 20th century.
