    In 1889 the architect Samuel A. Warner designed No. 66 Barrow Street as one of four matching five-story brick apartment buildings, Nos. 62 through 68, for the estate of Letitia A. Poillon. The group was planned as a single composition that continues around the corner into the similar buildings at Nos. 85 to 89 Bedford Street. Like its neighbors, No. 66 has a low-stooped doorway with a brownstone porch and a bracketed roof cornice shared along the row, so the four buildings read as one long front.

    “They were designed in 1889 as a single monumental unit by the architect Samuel A. Warner for the estate of Letitia A. Poillon.”
