In 1860 John D. Van Buren of Orange County, New York, built seven four-story houses on the east side of Bleecker Street, on land he had bought in 1852. Each had a ground-floor store with cast-iron columns, and matching roof cornices with modillions tie the row together. No. 403 is also addressed as 285 West 11th Street.
