A Gothic Revival terrace is built on St. Clement's Place for the Nicholas Low estate
The stretch of MacDougal Street that was called St. Clement's Place got a terrace of row houses on its west side in 1850-51, built for the estate of Nicholas Low. The landmark report ranks it among the more visually impressive terraces in the district. Numbers 73 to 77 are the partly intact survivors, with Gothic Revival details and the triple-height cast-iron balconies the row once had.

Tiro a Segno was founded on August 14, 1888, and first held its target practice at a clubhouse and range on Fox Hill on Staten Island. During World War I it handed that land over to the federal government. According to Village Preservation, the club moved in 1924 to its permanent home at 77 MacDougal Street, which had a shooting range and a bocce court in the basement.
