FRENCH'S COURT was a small street that ran west from 1021 Broadway. Originally known as  French Street. it  appeared as early as 1850. Sometime between 1863 and 1867 it was renamed French's Court, and was still being listed in directories as late as 1922. There were four frame buildings on French's Court in 1891, all were gone by 1906. 

A Mrs. Miller, who in 1891 won a settlement going back to the War of 1812, lived on French's Court, as did murderer Isaac Merrick.

Do you have an French's Court memory or picture. Let me know by e-mail so it can be included here.
