A three-story house of 1837 is raised to four stories and turned into French flats
Mason Edward Black built 77 Christopher Street in 1837 as a three-story house. In 1879 the architects Babb & Cook raised it to four stories and converted it into what the Landmarks Preservation Commission report calls French flats, an early form of apartment housing. A fifth floor and a fire escape with wrought-iron balconies were added later.
