392 West Street // 6 Weehawken Street
Built in 1834 this Landmarked 28.25 ft x 28.84 ft charmer sits almost unchanged from the way it looked in the mid-19th century with its steeply pitched roof and side staircase on the Weehawken entrance.
This two and a half story shingled, 2400 SF wooden house is said to be the oldest house still standing in Greenwich Village. And all of its various incarnations over two centuries reflect the enormous changes that took place in this part of the West Village, just steps from the Hudson River. The story of 6 Weehawken Street (392 West Street) begins in the 1830s. That's when tiny Weehawken Street was created on the former site of Newgate State Prison.
After Newgate was closed, the city decided to turn the property into a produce, meat, and fish market called Greenwich Market (one of many open-air markets along the Hudson River at the time) bounded by Christopher Street and Amos Street, the 19th century name for today's West 10th Street.In the 1920s, with Prohibition in effect, 6 Weehawken became "Billie's Original Clam Broth House" and in the 1940s a retail shoppe carrying work clothes, canvas gloves, tobacco, and a strange assortment of odds and ends desired by seafarers and dockwallopers.
With frontage on both West Street and Weehawken, and zoned for commercial as well as residential, this versatile little gem awaits its next incarnation.
