Dr. Cameron builds No. 108 Greenwich Avenue as the end of his row of early houses
The Landmarks Preservation Commission dates 108 Greenwich Avenue to 1842 and says it was built for Dr. Cameron, the physician who had put up No. 106 about a dozen years earlier. It forms the end of the row of early houses on this block that still survives. A fourth-floor attic with a large window was added later.
