The merchants Elisha Peck and Anson G. Phelps were among the most active real estate developers in the neighborhood, and around 1844-45 they built No. 228 as one of six houses at numbers 220 through 230 on the south side of the street. It is one of the best preserved of the six and shares a double stoop and a matching pair of doorway frames with No. 230 next door.
