Nicholas Low's estate built the Sullivan Street row in 1850, six years after it put up a similar group of houses on nearby MacDougal Street. The Sullivan Street houses, No. 172 among them, were built singly rather than in pairs and had Greek Revival detail with a dentilled cornice. In 1920 they were remodeled in a neo-Federal style, which is how No. 172 looks today.
