Stephen B. Peet buys the land for the Bank Street row from the Bank of New York
In 1843 the real estate developer Stephen B. Peet bought the land for the terrace that includes No. 22 from the Bank of New York. Using purchase-money mortgages, he built ten houses here in 1844-45 and ten more facing West Eleventh Street, and he developed other Village lots on Perry and West Thirteenth Streets. For two years, 1844 to 1846, Peet made his own home in one of the West Eleventh Street houses.
“Stephen B. Peet, a real estate developer, for whom the row was built, had purchased the land from the Bank of New York in 1843.”
