Peck & Snyder UPDATE !!

I have now discovered ANOTHER monkey wrench in the plans.

It turns out that "22 Ann Street" is NOT on the same side of the block as "105 Nassau Street" OR "126 Nassau Street."

105 Nassau Street is right near the corner of Nassau St. and Ann St. ... but it would be on the same corner as "21 Ann Street" (ODD-numbers for Ann Street) ... NOT the even numbers.

105 Nassau Street is a LOT closer to the 22 Ann Street address than the 126 Nassau Street address ... but NEITHER of them could be DIFFERENT entrances to the SAME store!!!

So as it now stands ...

my most logical explanation is that Peck & Snyder operated at 105 Nassau Street in 1867 and 1868, then moved to a larger store at 22 Ann Street sometime in 1868 or 1869, and then moved again to 126 Nassau Street in 1869 and stayed there for good.

But we may never know for sure.
