No. 473 is part of a William Hurry row that once reached around the corner to West 11th Street
The five houses at 465-473 Sixth Avenue, built in 1842 by William Hurry, were only the avenue end of a longer row. That row turned the corner onto West 11th Street and ran as far as No. 121. The 1969 report notes that No. 473's lintels appear to be original, though plate-glass windows have replaced most of the old small-paned sash.
“These houses were part of a long row which extended around the corner on West Eleventh Street to No. 121.”
