   324 Bowery is one of five brick houses with commercial ground floors that builder John Murtha put up in 1869 at the corner of Bowery and Bleecker Street, now numbered 320-324 Bowery and 1-5 Bleecker. Architects David and John Jardine, Scottish-born, designed them for Benjamin Stephens, who owned the land from 1830 to 1908. The commission says they were among the brothers' earliest works.
