George Greason, a tinsmith, bought this lot in 1837 from the builders Cornelius R. and David R. Doremus, who owned the properties next to it on the north. In 1838 he built a brick Greek Revival house there. It was later raised to three stories, and its stoop was removed to open a basement entrance, leaving the old doorway lintel in the wall above a window.
