1835
Grocers Warren and Joseph B. Harriot build a two-story house at 725 Greenwich Street
The house at No. 725 dates from 1835, when it went up with two stories for Warren and Joseph B. Harriot, grocers whose store was listed at the southwest corner of Greenwich and Charles Streets. The Harriots owned a considerable amount of property in the neighborhood. Nos. 725 through 729 were all originally built for them, with No. 727 following in 1839 and No. 729, for Joseph alone, in 1853.
“Originally, Nos. 725-729 were built for Warren and Joseph B. Harriot, grocers, with store listed at 718 Greenwich Street at the southwest corner of Charles Street.”

In 1928 the architect Ferdinand Savignano remodeled the row at Nos. 725-731 for the Realty Collateral Corporation. At No. 725 he removed the stoop to make a round-arched basement entrance, stuccoed the whole front, and topped it with a stepped parapet. The house, built as two stories in 1835, is now three stories with a basement, and a round-arched French window with a small balcony sits above the door.
“…remodeling of 1928 in the popular Spanish Colonial style, carried out by the architect Ferdinand Savignano for the Realty Collateral Corporation.”
