Two old Federal row houses at 156 Prince are joined into one six-story apartment house
Before 1844 the site held a pair of Federal-style row houses, later raised, tenementized and fitted with pressed-metal cornices. In 1961 architect David Kraus, working for Northern Realty Inc., joined 156 and 158 Prince Street internally. He lifted the three-story 158 to match the six-story 156, gave both one painted-brick face and replaced every ground-floor storefront. The Landmarks Preservation Commission lists the result as non-contributing to the historic district.
“…originally built as two Federal row houses before 1844…”
