John McIntosh has a Federal-style brick house built at 141 Grand Street in a row of dwellings
Around 1821-22 John McIntosh built a brick dwelling at 141 Grand Street, one of a row of similar houses stretching from 133 to 151 Grand. The Fourteenth Ward was growing fast in those years and had become the city's most populous ward by 1825. The house still shows Flemish-bond brickwork at its second and third floors.

A fourth floor, probable shop front and a druggist tenant turn 141 Grand Street from a house into a store
By 1853 the house at 141 Grand Street had gained a fourth story, and a storefront was probably added then too. A retail druggist occupied at least part of it. Later occupants included Roth's Neckwear Co. in 1906, the paint and oil dealers Flohr & Harris in 1914, the Manhattan Rhinestone Products Corp. in 1926 and the Wurth Electric Motor Co. in 1947. By 1990 the Acme Safe Co. was listed there.
“…fourth story had been added by 1853 ... the building was at least partially occupied by a retail druggist.”
