1867
Builder Bartlett Smith is assessed for the row of houses at Nos. 63-67 Charles Street
Nos. 63 to 67 on the old Van Nest block were built by Bartlett Smith, a builder, and were first assessed to him in 1867. Two of the houses were bought by people who lived in them: Andrew Fletcher, a boiler dealer, at No. 65, and Mary Ann and Charles W. Link at No. 63. Unlike much of the row, which lost its window ornament, these three have rectangular lintels at the upper stories.

1936
Van Nest Place is folded into Charles Street, and its houses take new numbers
Until 1936 this stretch of Charles Street between Bleecker and West Fourth Streets was a separate street called Van Nest Place, after the old estate that once covered the block. Its houses were numbered from 1 to 18. The city merged it into Charles Street that year, at the request of property owners, because the name was confused with a Van Nest Avenue in the Bronx.
