1847
Stockbroker Andrew Haxtun builds the corner house at 314 Bleecker as part of a four-house investment row
In 1847 the stockbroker Andrew B. Haxtun, who came from Catskill, New York, built No. 314 Bleecker Street at the Grove Street corner as the end of a four-house row at Nos. 308 to 314. He did not live in the row: since 1839 his home had been the mansion at 45 Grove Street, just around the corner, and the buildings were meant to earn him rent.

1847
Four late Greek Revival buildings on Bleecker Street share one cornice
Nos. 308 to 314, including this corner house, are four-story brick buildings of 1847 whose only ornament is plain stone lintels over the windows. One cornice runs above the shop fronts to tie them into a single facade. The district report found traces of the original cast-iron columns still showing under newer sheet-metal covering, and calls the row vernacular in design.
“The four perfectly plain brick buildings are treated as a unified facade.”
