127 Greene Street is built as an exact twin of Henry Fernbach's design for No. 125

Nos. 125 and 127 Greene Street are identical buildings, though 125 was Henry Fernbach's design and 127 was executed a year later under William Baker. Landmarks Commission researchers suggest Baker may have been an associate of Fernbach, who died in November 1883, while 127 was under construction. Either the client asked for the same design or Fernbach decided to repeat it before his death.
