Henry Ten Broeck, a carpenter, put up 107 Bank Street in 1846 as his own residence, part of a row of four Greek Revival houses at Nos. 105-111. He probably built the row with Dunham & Williams, named in deeds as the builders of Nos. 109 and 111. No. 107 kept its stoop, but its original cornice has been removed from over the doorway.
“No. 107 was erected for Henry Ten Broeck, a carpenter, as his own home.”
