    Merchant Nicholas Low buys the block that later holds 176 Bleecker Street

    In 1796 Nicholas Low, one of New York's leading merchants and financial figures after the Revolution, bought a tract that included this block and ran to what is now the west side of Sixth Avenue. His heirs kept it for nearly a century. His estate had the row of eight houses at 172 to 186 Bleecker Street built around 1861, and 176 was one of them.
