French's Court
French's Court was a small street that ran west from 1021 Broadway. Originally known as French Street, it appeared as early as 1850. Sometime between 1863 and 1867 it was renamed French's Court, and was still being listed in directories as late as 1922. There were four frame buildings on French's Court in 1891; all were gone by 1906.
A Mrs. Miller, who in 1891 won a settlement dating back to the War of 1812, lived on French's Court, as did murderer Isaac Merrick.
