The house at 332 Bowery gains a fourth floor and a rear addition around 1859
A directory of 1851 shows the house occupied by R. Cook & Son, umbrella dealers, and by Sarah Shumway, who kept a boardinghouse. Around 1859 it was raised from three stories to four and given a large rear addition. The Italianate appearance of the house probably dates from that work.
“Around 1859 it was enlarged from three to four stories and a large addition was appended on the rear of the building.”
