1829
A hatter's 1829 church lease on the Bleecker Street block front leads to six brick houses, including No. 363
No. 363 Bleecker Street is one of six houses that James Haslet, a hatter, was required to build under a 21-year lease from the Greenwich Reformed Dutch Church in 1829. The lease called for six sturdy brick or stone buildings of at least two stories and banned factories. The Flemish-bond houses, No. 363 among them, went up in 1829-30 with peaked roofs and were later raised to three stories; No. 363 now stands four stories high.

William Bogert runs a daguerreotype studio at No. 363 Bleecker Street
By 1851 No. 363 held a variety store run by a woman, a jeweler, a patternmaker and the daguerreotype studio of William Bogert. Bogert owned this house and the corner house next to it. Three years later he built a home of his own around the corner at 94 Charles Street, on land behind the two properties he had bought.
