Stockbroker Andrew B. Haxtun builds four Bleecker Street houses, 308-314, as an investment
Andrew B. Haxtun, a well-off stockbroker from Catskill, had 308-314 Bleecker Street built in 1847 as an investment. Four late Greek Revival houses went up in a row, four stories each, with a shared roof cornice that makes them read as one facade. Haxtun himself lived nearby, around the corner at 45 Grove Street, a mansion he bought from the estate of Samuel Whittemore and called home from 1839.
