    Thomas Davey, who also built No. 30 Greenwich Avenue, put up two identical brick buildings in 1854, Nos. 44 and 46. The district report credits the pair with a somber dignity. Their original bracketed cornice survives, though the first two floors of each were later remodeled for shops.

    “These two identical brick buildings were erected in 1854 by Thomas Davey, a builder of No. 30 Greenwich Avenue.”
