The 1842 Greek Revival house at 471 Sixth Avenue, with its neighbor at No. 473, appears to retain its original window lintels. Most of the double-hung windows along this row of five, however, have lost their small-paned sash to plate glass. The row was built by the architect William Hurry as three-story houses.
