Ephraim Wentworth builds a Greek Revival row house for grocer Richard Williamson
Ephraim H. Wentworth builds the two-and-a-half-story house around 1835, faced in red Flemish-bond brick with brownstone trim, as part of a Greek Revival row on East 2nd Street between the Bowery and Second Avenue. Its first owner, Richard Williamson, runs a Maiden Lane firm whose "grocery" trade is really in imported European wines and delicacies for wealthy customers.
