Several decades previous to the
revolution, when the Sons of Liberty
were struggling to arouse the
of New York city to a sense of
the indignity that was being heaped
upon them by the British govern-
the city sold lots on what is
now William street to enterprising
citizens, who agreed to erect houses
of two or three stories on them. Of
the houses built at this time, or, at
any time previous, during the early
days of New Amsterdam, the oldest
now standing is a quaint, three-
story brick structure at William
street.
The house, which has changed in
appearance but little since it was
first built, is owned by Thomas B.
Guilford. of Toms River, N. J., by
whose ancestor, Samuel Guilford, it
was purchased from its builders in
1773. Prior to that year nothing of
the owner of the place is known, for
the records of transfer have long
since crumbled to dust, and nothing
now remains of the original builders
