In 1885 the architect George B. Post designed this three-story Victorian building for Elizabeth S. Jones and Harriet Potter. The Landmarks Preservation Commission notes that it was built before its neighbor at 142-144 Beekman, which Post also designed, since an old view shows it standing beside small hipped-roof structures at the corner. Stone bands across the red brick give it the multicolored look fashionable in the 1870s and 1880s, and curved wrought-iron tie-rod washers decorate each story.
“This Victorian building, also designed by George B. Post in 1885, was erected before No. 142-144, ... It was erected for Elizabeth S. Jones and Harriet D. Potter.”
