    Charles Oakley had four small houses built around 1835-36, and the brick house at 269 Bleecker Street was one of them. By the 1850s it had been converted to mixed use, like much of the block. Around 1868 the two-story house was raised to three stories and given Italianate details, including a metal cornice with foliate brackets.
