1872
A third story and bracketed cornice are added to No. 25 Christopher Street in 1872
No. 25 started in 1827 as a wood-frame house with a brick front in Samuel Whittemore's row of ten. A third story was added in 1872, and a sheet-metal roof cornice on small paired Neo-Grec brackets came later, echoed in miniature at the window lintels. The upper sash of its windows keeps the original muntins.
