    No. 26 belongs to a row of six three-story Greek Revival houses erected in 1844-45, in the group that includes Nos. 24 and 28. The Greenwich Village Historic District report records that it keeps its stoop and areaway railings with their Greek fret pattern. The front door is framed by pilasters under a transom.

    “The areaway railings and the stoops with their original cast iron handrailings have been retained at Nos. 26, 28, and 30.”
