Richard Wight's row house at 200 Avenue of the Americas, built about 1832-33, is sold to Theodore E. Bliss
The builder Richard Wight erected this row house between 1832 and 1833, one of three he put up on the block, of which only 198 and 200 now remain. Theodore E. Bliss bought it from Wight in 1836. Like its neighbor, it was brick laid in Flemish bond, with two stories above a basement and a peaked roof.

1882
The row house at 200 Avenue of the Americas gets a third story and a flat roof in 1882
A building alteration filed in 1882 raised the two-story house to three stories and replaced its peaked roof with a flat one. A bracketed metal cornice with a paneled frieze may have been added at the same time. Nearly five decades later, in 1929, the owner, Domick Pavese, had the architect Robert A. Fash take away the high stoop and open a basement entrance with a pedimented door hood.
