#WhereinAlbany - 282 Lark Street

This week’s #WhereinAlbany was three sister buildings on Lark Street by Hamilton. You might recognize them from the distinct, eclectic wood window hoods. The modified Italianate buildings are three stories (including the basement) and were built in 1869.

From the inventory sheet on Criss:

“One of 3 rowhouses built in 1869 for Ezra L. Pasco. Pasco was a merchant listed in city directories as selling a variety of items including stoves (1857); boots and shoes (1865) and fancy goods (1866). he lived at 148 Washington Avenue until 1871 when he moved to 320 Hudson Avenue.

In the 1890s this house was owned by Max Schnurr, one of several Schnurr’s to own meat markets in Albany. His market was at 89 Beaver Street” (now Amo La Bella!)

Well done to everyone who guessed correctly!
