No. 57 began around 1838-39 as a three-story Greek Revival row house built for Matthew H. Chase. In 1899 owner Ernest Plath had the architects Kurtzer & Rohl add a floor and install a bracketed Queen Anne cornice, turning the house into a tenement. Around 1941 the stoop came off and the entrance moved down to the basement.
