The Greek Revival corner house at Second Avenue starts as part of the Hubbard & Casey row
Number 38 East 3rd Street, also numbered 49 Second Avenue, was built about 1835-36 as part of the Hubbard & Casey row with Greek Revival ornament. Later in the 19th century its entrance enframement was embellished and its window lintels replaced in Queen Anne style. Both were returned to the Greek Revival look in the later 20th century, and the original stoop handrail remains.
“The entrance enframement and window lintels were subsequently restored to the Greek Revival style in the later 20th century.”
