    Of the three Harriot-built houses at 761 to 765 Greenwich Street, No. 765 stays closest to how it looked in 1838. It is still two and a half stories with a steeply pitched roof and attic windows tucked in the fascia board. Only the stoop has been taken away, replaced by a basement entrance. The 1969 historic district report calls the result a building of considerable charm.

    “No. 765, a two and one-half story, pitched roof Greek Revival house with basement, adheres closely to its original appearance.”
