Developer George Harrison put up a row of Greek Revival town houses on the west side of Bedford Street, starting with Nos. 113-117 in 1843 and finishing the rest the next year. Nos. 107 and 109 were built together as one double house with a four-window front and a separate front door for each half, while the other houses in the row are single residences three windows wide. All of them are three stories over a basement, reached by a high stoop.
“With the exception of No. 107-109, which is a double house, four windows wide with two separate entrances, all the others are single residences, three windows wide.”

Painter Lincoln Rothschild lives at 107 Bedford Street through the 1940s and 1950s
The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 1969 Greenwich Village survey notes that the painter Lincoln Rothschild made his home at No. 107 Bedford Street in the 1940s and into the 1950s. The house was by then a century old, built in 1844 as one half of a double house with No. 109, and the survey remarks that the left handrail of its stoop is a later addition.
