The corner house is built in 1829-30 as a two-story house with a tall gable
This corner house, 365 Bleecker Street and 96 Charles Street, began as the end of a row of six houses built in 1829-30. It stood two stories high under a steep gable on the Charles Street side. That gable held a tall arched window flanked by two quarter-round windows. Before 1858 the attic became a full third story, but the change from Flemish to running bond in the brickwork still marks the original height.

At No. 365, the corner house at Charles Street, the occupant was a drug store. The report says the row, with its stores, was occupied by tradespeople from an early date.
