See "Twin Sisters" Houses, Greenwich Village, NYC

When in Greenwich Village head over toCommerce Street to see two mirror-image free-standing houses at 39 and 41 Commerce Street. The "legend" of the houses is about a sea captain using real estate to help bring two sisters together. He built them matching houses joined by a walled garden with few windows on the garden sides so the sisters would not have to see one another. Unfortunately it's not true. The two houses were built as an investment in 1832 by a New Jersey milkman, Peter Huyler.
