This townhouse at 47 Chauncey Street dates back to 1867. The landmark single-family is one of the oldest row-houses in the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District.
This row of two-story homes was developed by Charles E. Larned, who had purchased the lots in 1867. He was a lawyer with an office at 202 Broadway in Manhattan. Mr. Larned sold the houses in 1870 to James Campbell, a broker located at 25 Wall St and also a Brooklyn resident. He made a small profit the very next year (1871) when he sold the homes to Thomas Prosser.
