    The house at 174 Bleecker Street was one of eight identical four-story rowhouses put up around 1861 for the estate of Nicholas Low. In 1923 its owner, Village Estates, Inc., hired the architect Frank Vitolo to add a full fifth story with a big studio window. The change answered the neighborhood's new demand for artists' studios, and 176 Bleecker Street was altered in the same project.

    “The full fifth story with studio window present at no. 174 appears to date to a 1923 alteration that also encompassed no. 176.”
