    Around 1863 the heirs of Stephen Whitney built the original building on this lot. Whitney had bought a large share of the property on the block in 1825. According to tax records, the new tenement was immediately leased to Albert Karel and Nicholas Strong. Its original metal cornice and brick frieze survive.
