Anson Phelps is the first owner of the brick Greek Revival row house put up here around 1844-45, originally four stories over a basement. Later its stoop is removed and the old ground floor is raised to sidewalk level, making it five stories. A two-story storefront is installed some time after about 1939, and by the mid-1980s the second-floor commercial space has been turned into an apartment.
