No. 29 East 11th Street is one of four closely similar Greek Revival houses built between 1842 and 1845
No. 29 East 11th Street belongs to a group of four Greek Revival town houses built between 1842 and 1845 for different owners, so closely alike that they read as a single row. Of those owners only Samuel Holmes, a dry goods merchant, lived in his house, at No. 27. At some later point No. 29 and No. 25 had their stoops removed to make way for basement entrances.
“These four houses have such similarity that they form a row, though built between 1842 and 1845 for different owners.”
