1853
Samuel Southmayd, a West Street planing-mill owner, has 390 Bleecker Street built
No. 390 went up in 1852-53 for Samuel G. Southmayd, whose large planing mills stood on West Street just south of the Village. It is the end of a row of three-story brick houses with stores on the ground floor and matching bracketed cornices. Its window lintels are sheet-metal, and plate glass later replaced the original upper and lower sashes.
