In 1822 the builder William W. Berwick erected this brick building at 227 Front Street for Peter Schermerhorn, a prominent New York merchant who also owned the neighboring building at 225. It was remodeled substantially later in the century, when a cast-iron lintel with rosettes went in at the storefront. A fifth story was added in 1899, and the original peaked roof was lowered at the same time.
“Also built by William W. Berwick in 1822 for Peter Schermerhorn, this brick building was significantly remodeled later in the 19th century. The fifth story was added in 1899.”
