Hall, and the residence built for General Hubbell on Geneva street. He died here in 1873, aged eighty four years.
Frederick P. was the third son in a family of seven children, and his whole life has been spent in this city. At

contracted may be mentioned the residences of O. G. Howard, Mrs. Vail, D. W. Burdick, and the Unitarian church,
the Reed block, Hollister hotel, and the annex of the High School. He is a Republican and a member of Aurora Street
Methodist Church, of which he was for many years a trustee. In 1854 he married Adelaide, daughter or Selah T. Benjamin,
