Built 1780s, Remodeled 1880

Built in the late 1790s remodeled a century later, No. 206 Front Street was the location of the Howell family businesses for well over 100 years. It first served as a grocery, providing staples such as flour, sugar, and spirits to customers who bought fresh produce at the Fulton Market.
It later housed the Howell's famous military store, one of New York's leading suppliers of guns and gunpowder at the turn of the century.
