- Thomas_E._Davis abstract "Thomas E. Davis (c1785-1878) was a prolific real estate developer who built residential properties in New York between 1830 and 1860. Davis emigrated from England to New Brunswick, New Jersey, with the intention of setting up a distilling business. When this failed he moved to New York, and with financial backing from banking brothers, J. L. & S Josephs, began a career in property speculation. In 1831 he built terraces of Federal style houses on East 8th Street, between Third & Second Avenue called St Mark’s Place. Further developments in the area included Carroll Place, on the block from Thompson Place to Laguardia Place.Between 1834 and 1835, Davis bought land on Staten Island, that ran from the quarantine station to Sailors' Snug Harbor. He called the area New Brighton (after a coastal resort in England) and built Greek revival style houses on the shoreline. An association of wealthy entrepreneurs was set up to further develop the land and promote the area as a suburb, with easy access to New York via steam ferries. However, almost immediately the financial crisis of 1837 resulted in foreclosure of the association. Davis, with co-partners, re-acquired the development and managed to ride out the recession. Davis lost a substantial amount of money during this period but survived the crash, however, the banking brothers, J. L.& S Josephs, who had initially provided support for Davis failed.Towards the end of the recession Davis was able to purchase 400 plots on Fifth Avenue (north of Twentieth Street) for a few hundred dollars each and built a complete block of fine dwellings between East 31st and East 32nd Street.Davis became extremely wealthy; the real estate owners’ list of the period placed Astor as number 1, A. T. Stewart 2nd and Thomas E. Davis 3rd. In the mid 1860s Davis moved with his family to Italy. He died in Florence 16 March 1878 aged 93.".
