In 1844-45 Nathaniel Weed put up a Greek Revival townhouse at 5 Great Jones Street, replacing a stable he also owned. Weed owned the house directly behind it, at 4 Bond Street. In 1869-70 he raised the building from three stories to four, which probably gave it its Italianate look.

The stoop comes off 5 Great Jones Street as the old house is turned into a commercial building
By 1921 the former townhouse at 5 Great Jones Street had lost its stoop. Its basement floor was raised to street level and its basement and first-story facades were rebuilt, and offices and manufacturers occupied the building. The upper floors now hold live-work quarters.
“By 1921, when the building's stoop was removed, its basement floor raised to street level, and the basement and first-story facades rebuilt, the building was occupied by offices and manufacturers.”
