    No. 50 Barrow Street was built in 1847 as a private house for Martin Winant, a plain three-story brick building. Early in the twentieth century it was converted into a multiple dwelling and its stoop was removed, leaving a ground-level main door. A smaller entrance at the left leads to a second house (No. 50A) at the rear of the lot.

    “Built originally as a private house for Martin Winant in 1847, this vernacular brick building, three stories high, was converted early in this century to a multiple dwelling.”
