Builder George Sutton raises a row of six Hudson Street houses on Trinity land
The landmark report says the row at 426-436 Hudson Street went up in 1847 on land bought from Trinity Church two years earlier. George Sutton, the builder, owned No. 432 himself, and the city grocers Silas and Charles Olmstead owned houses in the row too. The four-story houses are in a vernacular late Greek Revival style, and No. 428 still shows its long second-story windows.
“Originally, they all must have had long second story windows, which still may be seen at Nos. 428, 430, and 432.”

A faded shop sign resurfaces on the face of 428 Hudson Street
In September 2014 Ephemeral New York posted a photograph of a faded shop sign on 428 Hudson Street, near Morton Street. The blogger had no idea when the shop had operated and asked whether the faded letters really read A. Roid's, a question the post left open.
