1877
763 Greenwich Street, built for grocers in 1838, is raised from two stories to four in 1877
The Harriot family, neighborhood grocers, built No. 763 in 1838 as part of a four-house row; it was then only two stories high. In 1877 it was raised to four stories over a basement, and it received a cornice with modillions, dentils and end brackets. It keeps a stoop up to a deeply recessed entrance, and the later addition makes it the tallest of the three Harriot houses.
