    John Totten finishes 118 Christopher Street, the last of three matching houses at the Bedford corner

    C. F. Ridder Jr. designed three five-story buildings at the corner of Christopher and Bedford Streets for John Totten. Nos. 120-122 were built first, in 1883; No. 118 followed, finished in 1885 in the same style. Its cornice is plainer than those of its neighbors, and it has a conventional fire escape instead of the balconies that run across the other two fronts.
