    A corsetmaker and a shirtmaker, both women, work at 357 Bleecker Street in 1851

    This house belongs to a row of six brick buildings built in 1829-30 under a lease to the hatter James Haslet, and from early on it held tradespeople. In 1851 the occupants of No. 357 were a corsetmaker and a shirtmaker, both women, in a row that also included a drug store, a jeweler, a bootmaker and a daguerreotype studio. The house was later given a plain parapet in place of its original roofline details.
