The Manhattan Bridge approach cuts back 149 Canal Street, and the building gets a new front
A five-story brick building stood here by the mid-1800s, fronting the Bowery, and by 1892 it was a lodging house. When the Manhattan Bridge approach was cut through in 1913, the property was cut back at an angle, and Neville & Bagge designed a new facade for it. The plain brick front has flat stone lintels, with a bracketed cornice as its only ornament.
