Two rowhouse units, one belonging to Ezekiel Solomon, Michigan’s first Jewish settler, and the other to Lieutenant George Clowes of the 8th Regiment of Foot.
Solomon probably used this house as a summer residence, returning to Montreal in the winter. Here, Solomon inspected, sorted, and packed trade goods, and furs, with his house doubling as office and warehouse.
Lieutenant George Clowes most likely lived in the other unit in the mid-1770s. Clowes was a senior subaltern to post commander Arent DePeyster.
