No. 61 Second Avenue began around 1842 as a three-story Greek Revival row house built for Oliver Corwin. In 1881 owners John and Catharine Muth had architect William Graul raise it to four full stories and add a bracketed neo-Grec cornice, which survives. In 1921 the stoop was removed and the entrance was moved down to the basement.
