The 1856 building at 33 Peck Slip is built to line up with its older neighbors
Harris Stone's 1856 building at 33 Peck Slip is slightly narrower than the two buildings to its west, Nos. 29 and 31, but resembles them in its four upper stories. It was designed so its floor levels would align with theirs. A paneled, corbeled roof cornice joins the facades of Nos. 29 through 33 and wraps around the corner onto Front Street.
