James Haight Jr. buys the land from John Lozier and has No. 6 built in a row of five brownstones on Bank Street
In 1860 James Haight, Jr. bought this stretch of Bank Street from John Lozier, a landowner long active in city affairs. A year later he had a block of five Italianate brownstone houses built, Nos. 6 to 14, and No. 6 is one of them. The Landmarks Preservation Commission calls the block a fine example of the ashlar brownstone style that was popular at the time.
