A house for Jonathan J. Coddington, the city's postmaster, goes up at No. 60
The original house at 60 Greenwich Avenue was built in 1839 for Jonathan J. Coddington, who was Postmaster of New York City that year. In the third quarter of the nineteenth century the smaller house was extended over a passageway beside it, which gave it the symmetrical three-window front and the bracketed Italianate cornice it has today. A Neo-Grec cornice was later added over the store.
“The original house was erected for Jonathan J. Coddington, Postmaster of New York City in 1839.”
