No. 304 Bleecker Street belongs to a row of four brick dwellings, now 296-304, that the lawyer Charles Oakley put up in 1829; he owned a lot of land around Commerce, Barrow and Bedford Streets. The row was probably planned with ground-floor stores from the start, and by the mid-1850s every house was commercial. No. 304 gained a fourth story and a stepped parapet early in the 20th century.
