    No. 27 Bethune Street is built in 1836, with later Neo-Grec brackets over its door

    No. 27 is one of three Greek Revival houses of 1836 at Nos. 25-29 that the Greenwich Village Historic District report calls extremely fine. Its newels are topped with balls, and later saw-tooth Neo-Grec brackets were added over the entrance. Triglyphs flanking the windows were added to the frieze, and the house's large chimneys stand out against the sky.
