Little Water Street ran north and south from Willing and Morris' wharf to Cedar St (now South Street). This was something like a continuation of Swanson Street north of Almond Street up to Cedar. The 1785 directories contain no addresses on this street by this name; some or all of the entries for this street may have been listed under "River-side" or as being on this or that wharf.
