Thomas Cudbirth, an Eighth Avenue agent, has Nos. 30-34 Bethune Street built in 1844-45
The Greenwich Village Historic District report says No. 30 was one of three houses, Nos. 30-34, built for Thomas Cudbirth, an agent working at 148 Eighth Avenue. Property deeds show that the builder Alexander R. Holden owned two lots in the row and took part in building it. The three-story house kept its stoop, whose cast-iron handrailing and Greek fret pattern the report records.
“Three of the dwellings, Nos. 30-34, were built for Thomas Cudbirth, an agent at 148 Eighth Avenue.”
