   A day nursery joins the two 1840s houses at 220 and 222 East 5th Street into one building

   The pair of Greek Revival houses built around 1844-45 for Anson Phelps lost their front stoops in two steps: the east one in 1912, when Mollie Simon owned it, and the west one in 1918, under Congregation Daughters and Sons of Israel. In 1920 Daughters of Israel Day Nursery, Inc., filed the work that connected the houses on the inside, leaving one building.
