Samuel Whittemore's row of 1832 once included houses at 323 and 325 Bleecker
The district report says the building at 327 Bleecker Street went up in 1832-33 as one of a row of three that originally included Nos. 323 and 325, the lot where this apartment house now stands. Its builder, Samuel Whittemore, made carding equipment for the textile industry, sat in the State Assembly in 1816 and owned much property in the area. The 1902 apartment house replaced the earlier houses at 323-325.
“…was erected in 1832-33 for Samuel Whittemore, manufacturer of carding equipment for the textile industry…”

George F. Pelham designed the building at 323-325 Bleecker Street in 1902 for Jacob Cohen. The district report calls the design transitional. Arched windows on the upper floors recall the Romanesque Revival, while the rest of the facade takes a more modern, classical approach. It stands on the east side of Bleecker between Grove and Christopher Streets.
