John Brown has a three-story brick row house built here, later given a neo-Grec front
The house goes up in 1848 for its first owner, John Brown, as a three-story brick row house over a basement; its architect is unknown. A later renovation recasts the front in the neo-Grec style, with an iron cornice carried on brackets and decorated with a floral frieze, plus hooded lintels over the windows. The building stays residential until a church buys it in 1919.

St. Stanislaus Church buys the 1848 rowhouse for a rectory
The Polish Roman Catholic parish of St. Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr purchases the three-story rowhouse built in 1848 for original owner John Brown at 101 East 7th Street. The following year the parish converts it into a rectory and office building.

The rectory's stoop comes down and its entrance moves to the street
Workers remove the original high stoop from the former rowhouse, reconfigure its basement, and relocate the entrance to the ground story with new surrounds. The building keeps its Neo-Grec cornice, with a bracketed, floral-frieze design and molded window lintels, from an earlier remodeling.
