A five-story house for John Deraismes stands on the site of 170 Duane Street
Before the present building, a five-story residence was built on this lot in 1835-36 for its owner, John Deraismes. By the late 1850s it had become one of four linked buildings, 164 to 170 Duane Street, that made up Hungerford's Hotel, which appears on an 1857 map. The hotel was out of business by 1885, and the house was later converted to commercial use.
“Originally on the site was a five-story residence built for owner John Deraismes in 1835-36, which by the late 1850s was part of Hungerford's Hotel.”

1985
The upper floors of 170 Duane Street are rebuilt as an apartment building
In 1984-85 the old commercial building at 170 Duane Street was renovated for residential use, and its upper stories, including the facade, were reconstructed. The new five-story apartment house was designed to fit in with the commercial buildings around it, and it kept the historic cast-iron elements of its ground floor.
