The Landmarks Commission dates this four-story brick row house to 1848, when it was built for James Gibson, a baker. It stands at the corner of Spring and Thompson Streets and is described as an altered Greek Revival house. Its cornice and storefront were later changed, and its stone lintels were removed between 1964 and about 1980.

1940
The row house at 82 Thompson Street goes from tenement back to a one- or two-family home in 1940
At some stage this corner house at Spring and Thompson Streets was divided up as a tenement, though only briefly. A ground-floor storefront was added before 1940, and in 1940 the building went back to housing one or two families. Between a tax photo of about 1940 and 1964, the projecting cornice came off and the shop front was reworked.
