••• “I am so happy to see the progress on the Canal Street House,” emailed M. Linda Thompson about 480 Greenwich/502 Canal. “I discovered the house while doing genealogy work on my mother’s family. They were Irish immigrants and lived in that house during the 1840s. My mother never knew where her great-grandparents came from or where they lived so I was overjoyed when I discovered the location. I visited the site in December 2013 and was dismayed at the condition but happy to see that renovation had begun. I hope that in some way the historical significance of the building can be preserved. People from all over the world lived there, and there are so many stories associated with the families who also lived in that building and I hope someone will pursue learning about them. Preserving the building is so important, but so is preserving the stories about the residents.”
