Chapter One · Origin

Tallow, beeswax,
and quiet years.

A candle works once pressed wax on this lot — for ferries, chapels, and neighborhood dinner tables.

What stands here now is new. Seven stories of brick that nods to what was and floor-to-ceiling windows for what is. On the roof: a terrace garden and grill, open to all residents.
