Number 20 was built in 1844-45 for developer Stephen B. Peet as part of a ten-house terrace. Its stoop survives, and so do the tall parlor-floor windows of the period. The row's ironwork, with its Greek fret pattern, is nearly all original, which the report calls unusual for a whole row. The city's 1969 Greenwich Village report counts the row among the outstanding residential rows in the neighborhood.
“Nos. 20, 22, 24, 26, 30, 32 and 34 still have their long parlor floor windows, so typical of the period.”
