George Harrison, a former saloon keeper, starts buying up the Bedford Street block that includes No. 109
George Harrison and his brother John started acquiring land on this Bedford Street block in 1839, buying from the heirs of Samuel Harrison and Peter Sharpe, the two men who had owned all of it. George had started out tending bar at the Northern Hotel on Cortlandt Street, then turned to real estate and later became associated with the Amos Estate holdings. His purchases became the row at Nos. 107-117, of which No. 109 is half of a double house.
