Charles Street - The Name
The street was named after Charles Christopher Amos, who owned the parcel the street passed through. Amos is also the namesake of Christopher Street, two blocks to the south, and the former Amos Street, which is now West 10th Street.
A Quirky Street Geography
From 1866 to 1936, the section of Charles Street between Bleecker Street and West 4th Street - right where 88 Charles sits - was actually called Van Ness Place, named after a farm owned by the Van Ness family that had occupied that square block until 1865.

One has to wonder, is this the one?
