    The Hearth and Home company buys the block, planning modestly priced housing for writers, artists and musicians

    In 1920 the Hearth and Home corporation, headed by William Sloane Coffin of the W. & J. Sloane firm, bought the block that includes this MacDougal Street row. Some of the Italian immigrants of the neighborhood were living in the buildings at the time of the purchase. Coffin planned modestly priced apartments for writers, businessmen, artists, actors and musicians instead.
