    Architect James Stroud designed the neo-Grec tenement at 641 Hudson Street, built in 1885-86 for Michael Moloughney Jr., a long-time grocer in the area, and it originally housed sixteen families. His grocery was listed at 4 Ninth Avenue in an 1870 directory and at this address in 1902. Moloughney had died by the time the building was sold in 1906, and after a 1935 foreclosure the ground floor went back to produce tenants.
