Contractor Adolphus Halsey builds a three-story brick store and house
Carpenter and builder Adolphus G. Halsey erected a three-story, brick-faced house and store here in 1868, with a finely dentiled cornice borrowed from the fading Greek Revival style. His own shop and office stood at the rear of the property, and he lived a block away at 57 West 10th Street. He first leased the store to the coal dealers Duff G. Reed & Co.

Architect Galia Solomonoff remodels the building as a single-family home
For over a century the building served as a store, with occupants that ranged from a real estate office in 1921 to a kitchen gift shop, a bridal shop, and a hair salon. Architect Galia Solomonoff completed a renovation in 2000 that remodeled the storefront and made the space above into a single-family home.
