A five-story house of 1848 at 51 Greenwich Avenue is rebuilt behind a new brick front
This house dates from 1848, part of a row built along the west side of the Avenue. In the first half of the twentieth century it was remodeled with a new brick front, its windows paired on the left and single on the right all the way up. A small roof projecting on end brackets caps the building, and the end windows on the top floor are fitted with little wrought-iron railings. A store and the entrance to the apartments occupy street level.
