1. 1849

   Peter Van Dyke replaces an older house with a Greek Revival row house at 154 Sullivan Street

   Landmarks Preservation Commission research indicates that between 1848 and 1850 a new row house seems to have taken the place of an older one. Owner Peter Van Dyke built it in the Greek Revival style, with running-bond brick and a denticulated cornice. It included a horse walk, a passage giving access to the rear of the lot. The metal sills and lintels appear to be a later alteration.

2. 1896

   Father Anacletus de Angelis converts a tenement at 154 Sullivan Street into a convent for St. Anthony's

   In 1896 the building was a tenement owned by Father Anacletus de Angelis, who had been pastor of St. Anthony of Padua from 1878 to 1890. It was converted into a convent, with a kitchen and dining room in the basement and bedrooms on the four floors above. It is now St. Anthony's Rectory.

   “…the building, which was being used as a tenement house, was converted into a convent.”
