Linus Scudder, a mason-builder long tied to the development of the Village, built No. 19 with Henry L. Cathell in 1856-57. They bought the land in spring 1856 from Louis and Hyacinthe Peugnet, who ran a boys' school nearby. Number 19 was raised to four stories, but it keeps its original doorway, stoop, rusticated basement and ironwork, matching Nos. 23, 25 and 27.
