Builder Abraham Demarest finishes a corner house for a grocer at Horatio and Greenwich
The land beneath the row at 58-66 Horatio Street belonged to the Ireland family until 1844, when it passed through two cartmen to the neighborhood builder Abraham Demarest. He raised five Greek Revival houses there in 1845-46. The four-story corner house, also numbered 825 Greenwich Street, was sold to Henry E. Clark, a grocer who lived above his shop.

1846
The corner house's shorter fourth-floor windows tie into the row's roofline
By 1969 the corner building's ground floor was smooth-stuccoed and a fire escape covered most of its narrow facade. The landmark report notes that sheet metal hides the original lintels, while tin cornices over the low fourth-floor windows butt up against the plain fascia board. Together with the cornices of Nos. 58-64, the corner's cornice, though interrupted, blends into a unifying top line for the row.
