Through the years, the corner brownstone was torn down and a small apartment building was built in its place. The two remaining brownstones were well preserved and now they are The Inn. At one time, it was a single family home. It has also been apartments, The Ingersol Mens Club, a Speak Easy, Beauty Parlor and Day Spa.
