In 1852-53 Smith Woodruff, a builder who also worked on Barrow Street, bought the three lots at 372-376 Bleecker Street and put up a matching row of dwellings. He soon sold the finished houses. By the time the Landmarks Preservation Commission surveyed the row in 1969, No. 376 had lost its ground-floor store to residential use, and its roof cornice had been removed, leaving rough common brick behind a covering panel.
“Nos. 372-376 compose a row of three houses erected in 1852-53 by Smith Woodruff; a builder active on Barrow Street and elsewhere in The Village.”

Morton Street was where Belushi lived in his last years.
