Henry Suydam, a merchant, put up four houses on this row as investments: Nos. 7 and 11 in 1837-38, then Nos. 5 and 13 in 1840-41. At No. 5 the stoop was later replaced by a basement entrance, but the rusticated brownstone basement stayed almost unchanged. The house also keeps its small cornices over the windows and its floor-length drawing-room windows.
“…them as investments, Nos. 7 and 11 in 1837-38, and Nos. 5 and 13 in 1840-41.”
