Fillmore Place

The one-block long Fillmore Place was not part of the original Williamsburgh street grid. It was created by Alfred Clock and Ephraim Miller, local merchants, real estate developers and prominent citizens of the Village of Williamsburgh. The two appear to have been active in Williamsburgh real estate as early as 1838, and by the 1850s were prominent citizens of the City of Williamsburgh.

Fillmore Place is a rare example of a nearly intact collection of mid-19th century flat houses. The block-long street that forms the core of the proposed district was carved out of the Williamsburgh street grid in 1852, and developed by Alfred Clock & Ephraim Miller over the course of the following four years.
