    Isaac Lawrence has a brick dwelling finished at the corner of Canal and Mercer Streets

    The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 1973 survey of SoHo dates this brick house, 313 Canal Street at the northwest corner of Mercer, to 1821 and lists Isaac Lawrence as its original owner. The survey gives Lawrence the same role at the neighboring houses numbered 315 through 323, so this corner dwelling headed a short row of his on the north side of Canal Street. Three windows wide, it later gained a fourth story and an iron cornice.
