A brick alley behind the block face. The alley is drawn as a dedicated way, with the gate at the rear of 661 shown as a panel gate on new posts.
What this sheet covers
The north face of W Fulton St within Block 11769, measured from the public walk, and the rear alley that runs behind it. The alley dedication line is drawn dashed, from the recorded plat, because the surface now carries a gate and the dedication is not visible on the ground.
Fourteen structures are counted. The porch at 665, the loading bay at 659 and the coach house behind 673 are drawn and noted but not counted as separate structures. A rubble wall at the north end of the block marks a building that is no longer standing; it is drawn as it is, not as it was.
| Rev | Date | Note |
|---|---|---|
| A | 14 May 2016 | First walk. Fourteen structures noted, cornice at 663 intact. |
| B | 6 Aug 2020 | Cornice lost at 663. Nine sash replaced at 657 to 661. |
| C | 12 Sep 2024 | Repointing at 657 to 661. Rear alley gate replaced. Transom filled at 667. |
Uncertain on this sheet
The date stone at 669 reads as 1911 with the last digit worn. It is drawn with a question mark, as the house key requires, and it stays uncertain until someone can name a source. The alley dedication line is drawn dashed: it comes from the recorded plat, not from the ground.
Table 04
Field table
Structures are numbered from the corner lot inward, as they are in the field book. Heights are to the cornice line, or to the parapet where the cornice is gone. Setbacks are measured from the back of the public walk.
