1826
Dyer Alexander Ritchie has a house built at 754 Greenwich Street, later raised to four stories
In 1826-27 a house was built at 754 Greenwich Street for Alexander Ritchie, a dyer, who also owned another early house nearby. Like the other houses in its row, it was later raised to four stories and topped with a Neo-Grec cornice. A pedimented entrance at street level now opens into what was once the basement and has become the first story.
“Also built for Alexander Ritchie in 1826-27, this house, like its neighbors, was later raised to its present four-story height…”
