    The building at 264 Water Street is raised from four to six stories and given its present facade

    By the 1820s the site held two small buildings, which may survive inside the present single brick building. In 1885-86 that building grew from four stories to six, and its whole facade dates from this alteration. The Landmarks Preservation Commission describes a three-bay front with full-height pilasters that mark its bays.

    “Two small buildings stood on this site by the 1820s. These early buildings may be incorporated in the present single brick building which was raised from four to six stories in 1885-86.”
