Smith Woodruff, a mason from a well-known family of builders, put up a row of six Italianate houses at 38 to 48 Barrow Street in 1851. He lived for a short time at No. 48, which kept its handsome pedimented doorway and bracketed cornice. The new houses replaced shops, factories and stables once owned by Timothy Whittemore, president of the Greenwich Insurance Company. By 1969 No. 48 held a restaurant.
