    James Snodgrass, a cartman, has 392 Bleecker Street built along with its neighbor

    In 1852-53 James Snodgrass, who worked as a cartman, had 392 and 394 Bleecker Street built as a pair of three-story brick houses with stores on the ground floor. They sit in a row whose cornices share the same brackets, with corbels beneath and leading edges cut into drops. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's district report credits Snodgrass for both houses.

    “Nos. 392 and 394 were built for James Snodgrass, cartman…”
