    An 1839 Sixth Avenue rowhouse gets an extra floor and a new brick front in 1931

    No. 404 began in 1839 as one of eight houses that William Beach Lawrence had built along the east side of Sixth Avenue between West Eighth and West Ninth Streets. In 1931 an additional floor was added and the front was rebuilt in new brick. Only four of the eight houses survive, and all have stores or restaurants at street level.

    “No. 404 had an extra floor added and acquired a new brick front in 1931.”
