Farrugut Houses

Any mention of the housing complex on Sands street. It can be seen coming over the manhttan bridge/brooklyn bridge. It gets "rough" out there at night aswell. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.23.246.238 (talk) 03:11, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

The Farragut Housing complex is not considered part of Vinegar Hill. Before the construction of the BQE, Vinegar Hill was larger. The Farragut Housing projects were built on land that was formerly Vinegar Hill. The residents of either neighborhood, nor does the City of New York recognize Farragut Houses as being located in Vinegar Hill. Th Vinegar Hill Historic District does not extend past Front Street. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.173.243.20 (talk) 02:26, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Quarters A

I removed mention of the architects of Quarters A. The given reference, dated 1974, cautiously states that Bulfinch in association with McComb "reputedly" designed the house. Subsequently the cited New York Times article states that an historian was unable to verify even this supposition. At any rate, further discussion of this question is best left to the main article on Quarters A and to people who might have access to more definitive sources.

Cobblestone or Belgian Block streets?

I am not near Vinegar Hill, but perhaps someone who lives there could check if the streets are in fact cobble stone or made of Belgian blocks; the two are commonly confused, and the former, cobble stones, are quite rare in the States and NYC. In the photo, I can't quite tell, but that appears to be a Belgian block street. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.175.9.149 (talk) 21:24, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

They are technically Belgian Blocks as cobblestones are round, however to the locals in the area, they are known as cobblestones. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 179.242.213.204 (talk) 00:49, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
