George Harrison builds a row of Greek Revival houses on Bedford Street that includes No. 111
George Harrison built the west-side row from 107 to 117 Bedford Street, putting up Nos. 113-117 in 1843 and the others the following year. The three-story houses have high stoops and paneled doors framed by classical pilasters. They stayed in the Harrison family until 1877 and have been altered very little since.
“The first three houses of the row, Nos. 113-117, were built in 1843; the others followed the next year. These residences remained in the Harrison family until 1877…”

Printmaker Martin Lewis, living at 111 Bedford Street, etches Spring Night, Greenwich Village
Martin Lewis made the shadowy etching Spring Night, Greenwich Village in 1930, while living at 111 Bedford Street. Artnet notes that the street in the print may be Bedford itself. After the Depression hit, Lewis and his wife gave up their Village house and moved to Sandy Hook, Connecticut, and he moved back to the Village in 1936.
