No. 28 Bank Street goes up in Stephen Peet's row of ten Greek Revival houses; its stoop is later removed
Real estate developer Stephen B. Peet had ten houses built at Nos. 16-34 Bank Street in 1844-45. Their ogival Gothic-style lintels and identical stoops make the row one of the most notable in the Village. The landmarks report counts No. 28 as one of only three houses in the row to lose its stoop, with a ground-floor entrance in its place, and says its areaway ironwork was replaced at the same time.
“Out of this entire row, only three of the houses (Nos. 18, 24 and 28) have had their stoops replaced by ground floor entrances.”
