In 1886-87 architect William B. Tuthill designed a row of five five-story tenements at 223 to 231 Sullivan Street for Anthony A. Hughes, all filed under one building application. Each had a shop on the ground floor and Queen Anne details in brownstone, including bracketed window frames, fluted pilasters and an arcaded cornice. The last unit, No. 231, is only half as wide as the other four.
