1825
A Federal-era dwelling goes up at 141 Greene Street for D. H. Schmidt
No. 141 Greene Street was built in 1825 as a dwelling house for D. H. Schmidt. Its neighbor at 139, also dating from 1825, is a two-story brick Federal-style house with dormers that was built for Anthony Arnoux. The Landmarks Preservation Commission says 141 must have originally looked like it.
