    Catherine, Eliza and Anna Greenleaf own a new row house, later given a ground-floor shop

    The house at 44 East 3rd Street was built about 1835-36 by the builder Ephraim Scudder for three owners, Catherine, Eliza and Anna Greenleaf. It started as a three-story Greek Revival row house with a peaked roof. Later the stoop was removed and the parlor floor lowered to street level for a storefront, which was in turn converted back to residential use.
