1888
Liquor merchants Henry and Hyman Sonn buy the corner lot and join two Harrison Street houses
In 1888 the brothers Henry and Hyman Sonn, liquor merchants, bought the lot at Greenwich and Harrison Streets. They merged the pair of small Greek Revival houses at 19 and 21 Harrison Street, which dated from about 1830, and put modern storefronts on them. Three years later they rebuilt the five-story building at 353 Greenwich Street as a tenement with shops on the ground floor.

The Sonns sell the corner to a trucking family, and egg wholesalers move in
The Sonn brothers sold the combined lot in 1899 to Edward and Frederich Post, whose trucking business was elsewhere on Harrison Street. Later commercial tenants included J. Neugeboren & Sons, egg wholesalers. Today the corner building has shops at street level and apartments above.
