Mary Ann C. Rogers builds a row of six Italianate houses, two of them on the site of Nos. 241-243
In 1854 Mary Ann C. Rogers built six Italianate town houses numbered 239 through 249 on the north side of West 13th Street. The two at Nos. 241 and 243 were later torn down to make way for an apartment house, so they were an earlier building on this site. The rest of the row survives, and the Landmarks Preservation Commission calls No. 245 the prototype of all of them.

Neville and Bagge build a six-story apartment house at 241-243 for Louise H. Harris
Neville and Bagge designed the six-story brick apartment house, built in 1905-06 for Louise H. Harris. The Landmarks Preservation Commission describes it as heavily ornamented, with brick quoins at the sides, brick rustication, band courses, and radial brick lintels with keystones. It took the place of two of the 1854 Rogers houses.

Ephemeral New York spots a coal hole cover in the sidewalk outside 241 West 13th Street
A June 2010 Ephemeral New York post pointed to a small cast-iron disk set in the sidewalk outside the tenement at 241 West 13th Street. It resembles a manhole cover but opens onto a coal hole, where a coal merchant could deliver fuel from the street without going into the building. A firm on Goerck Street, close to the Williamsburg Bridge, made the cover; that street was renamed Baruch Place in 1933.
