About the house:
130 King William originally served as a carriage house for a doctor's home. In 1926, it was converted into a duplex. The property remained the family home until 1949. Then, times gave way to degeneration, marked by empty aging mansions and absentee owners. 130 King William was sold, and remodeled for use as a chiropractic office. In 1970, new owners transformed it in a style more consistent with the emerging neighborhood aesthetic. The King William area has experienced a renaissance and now enjoys the status of an Historic District. To read more about the history of 130 King William, follow this link. HOURS
