Stonecutter William Denike owns No. 71, one of a row of Greek Revival rental houses built in 1836
No. 71 Bedford Street went up in 1836 and was owned by William Denike, a stonecutter who may also have helped build the row. The row of Greek Revival houses on this side of the block was income-producing rental property, probably linked to the builders Hadden & Gedney. The houses began as two and a half stories with dormers and were later raised to three; No. 71 now has a basement entrance in place of its original doorway.
“No. 71, also built in 1836, was owned by William Denike, a stonecutter, who may have also been involved in the construction of the row.”
