Rhinelander Row, consisting of eleven houses on 7th Avenue between West 12th and 13th Streets.
Rhinelander Row, Seventh Avenue, March 20, 1936.
This set of eleven cottages along Seventh Avenue became known as Rhinelander Row, after the developer William C. Rhinelander. The three-decker style brick rowhouses were built in 1849, with each story allocated its own wooden porch (replaced by sturdier iron in 1888).
The row was demolished in 1937, with a gas station occupying the site after plans for a contemporary apartment building fell through. In 1964, the Maritime Union Building, later the Maritime Hotel, was built on the site.
