    In 1890 architect George Keister planned a brick tenement at 5 Cornelia Street for the heirs of Charles Fitzpatrick, who had owned the lot since 1856. It rose in the years when Greenwich Village's older row houses were being replaced by tenements for working-class and immigrant families. The building held 16 households, and by 1916 its basement was in commercial use.
