The buildings on this tour are visual evidence of
building methods and social fashion in nineteenth-century
Jersey City. Architectural style is useful in bracketing
buildings within approximate dates, and the styles of
nineteenth-century Jersey City townhouses can indicate
the following general decades of construction:
| Greek Revival | 1830-1860s |
| Italianate | 1850-1870s |
| Second Empire | post-Civil-War |
| Eastlake | 1870s-1880s |
| Romanesque Revival | 1880-1890s |
| Queen Anne | 1880-1890s |
Historical maps and deed searches provide a more accurate dating method.
