1841
157 Prince Street, built around 1841, stays a home on its upper floors for nearly two centuries
Henry V. Shaddle had 157 Prince Street built around 1841 as one of ten Greek Revival houses on the block between West Broadway and Thompson Street. Unlike most Greek Revival-era row houses in SoHo, its upper stories were never converted to loft space and have remained residential since construction. Only a basement storefront and a first-floor picture window have been added in the years since.
“…remained in residential use on their upper stories since they were built, making them unusual examples of Greek Revival-era row houses that have never been converted to loft space…”
