AARON BuRR's FARMHOUSE.
The BuiIding, which Is over "a Century
Old, stu Standing.

Old, still Standing.
On the corner Of Hudson and Charl-
ton streets is frame building which,
to critical eye, would seem 10 be
tumbling down, or rather would APP
parently be il it were not held up by
ihe adjoining building. The window
frames, which once were square, are
quite out of plumb, dropping downward
on the south side. The ceilings are low
on every floor, and on the Hudson street
front the first floor, which is n little
above tho sidewalk and reached by u
few steps, has been transformed into q
couple Of small stores, while the en-
trance to tho upper floors is gained
through door on Charlton street. An
extension has been erected on this side
to the main building 80 as to cover the
lot.
The building was formerly the farm
house of Aaron Burr and was located
on the top of Richmond hill, through
which VarioE street was cut When
these streets were laid cut, the old
farmhouse was brought down to the
road, which is now Hudson street, and
placed on vacant lot then and now at
the corner 81 Charlton street. Opposite
TO it was placed another frame house,
which had been removed after the great
fires Of 1885 and 1915, from Chambers
street, whore it was known as the sold
Brown jug" This removal had been
caused by the extension of the fire lin
its in the lower portion Of the city. A
few years ago the "Old Brown Jug
building was condemned and torn down.
III its place brick structure has been
erected But so far the old Burr house
has been spared, for, although it is out
of plumb, the building was so strongly
constructed that there is little danger of
its falling
For many years the old house was &C.
cupied by an old time leather head
watchman, who, after his retirement
from that service, employed his time in
making leather travelling trunks, which
he sold on this corner, occupying the
upper floors with his family. At his
death, few years ago, the family, like
many of those who formerly resided in
Greenwich village, removed to the up
per part of the city, and the building
has since ceased to be inhabited by one
family. New York Mail and Express.
