1921
The stoop comes off 3 Great Jones Street as the house becomes a restaurant, store and factory
By 1921 the old townhouse had lost its stoop, its basement floor had been raised to street level, and storefronts replaced its lower facades. It was then occupied by a restaurant, a store and a factory. The upper floors now serve as live-work quarters.
“By 1921, when the building's stoop was removed, its basement floor raised to street level... occupied by a restaurant, store, and factory.”
