Thomas Cudbirth has No. 34 Bethune Street built in a Greek Revival row
No. 34 was one of six brick Greek Revival houses put up in 1844-45 on the north side of Bethune Street, in two groups. Nos. 30 to 34 were built for Thomas Cudbirth, an agent whose office was at 148 Eighth Avenue, and deeds show that the builder Alexander R. Holden, who owned two of the lots, took part in the work. Each house had three stories over a basement. By 1969 No. 34 had been stuccoed and had lost its stoop, so it is entered through the basement.
