A Greek Revival house stands on the lumberyard lot as part of a row built for grocers
Before the lumberyard wall, this lot held a Greek Revival dwelling that was part of a row of 1838. The row was built for W. and J. P. Harriot, grocers who served the neighborhood from 718 Greenwich Street. The three surviving houses of the row, Nos. 761 to 765, began as modest two-and-a-half-story residences.
“A fourth dwelling, at the site of the lumberyard at No. 767, was a part of the same fine row.”

A refaced wall with a driveway gate serves a lumberyard at 767 Greenwich Street
When the Landmarks Preservation Commission wrote up the Greenwich Village Historic District, No. 767 was not a house at all but a wall pierced by a driveway entrance. It served a lumberyard behind it. The wall had just been completely refaced in a simple manner in 1966.
