The Wilbur Aldrich residence was built in the “Prohibition Park” area of Staten Island, but research to date has not uncovered this home. And while it is possible that the home no longer exists, I struggle to find any evidence of a residence that was associated with Wilbur Aldrich, that resembles this design or footprint. Therefore, I speculate that perhaps this home was intended for someone else, like say a child of Aldrich that was maybe getting married around the mid 1890’s? Anyway, I consider this home MIA, until I can track it down somehow.  If anyone local to the Prohibition Park area of Staten Island recognizes this home, please comment on this page or email me with the address and any photos you can get for me. Any help along these lines would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks and happy hunting!
