Henry Youngs bought the lot at 307 Sixth Avenue in 1827 and put up a Federal-style dwelling of three and a half stories around 1832. His family kept title to the property well into the twentieth century. As on the rest of this stretch of Sixth Avenue, a shop moved into the ground floor by the 1850s, and later a rear extension was added so that several families shared the house.

The upper stories of 307 Sixth Avenue come down in 1948, and within a decade the building is a restaurant and bar
In 1948 the upper floors of 307 Sixth Avenue were demolished, leaving a two-story building that held a doctor's office and a residence. Less than ten years later it was changed again, into a restaurant and bar with two apartments. Today it is a store with an office and a caretaker's apartment, linked inside to the shop next door at no. 309.
