South Street Seaport Museum, 206 Front Street, New York, New York County, NY

Significance: Built as a Federal style store and residence for the grocer Matthew Howell in 1798 or 1799, 206 Front Street is one of the oldest buildings in the Seaport. The Howells occupied the building until 1882 when they moved their ship, then a military and gunpowder store, to 205 Front Street. Today 206 Front Street is part of the South Street Seaport Museum, a neighborhood of stores, galleries, and piers standing in close proximity to high rise buildings in Lower Manhattan.
