Around 1806 the shoemaker Conrad Brooks built a frame house with a brick front at 107 Spring Street, at the corner of Mercer. The Landmarks Preservation Commission names it the oldest house still standing in the SoHo-Cast Iron Historic District. It predates the 1809 paving of Broadway, after which serious development of the area began.
“It is No. 107, a frame house with a brick front built by Conrad Brooks, a shoemaker, about 1806.”
