   Three brick row houses went up at 73, 75 and 77 MacDougal Street in 1850-51 for the Estate of Nicholas Low, with no builder named in the record. Number 77 stood three stories above a basement and kept an entrance under a Tudor arch, with a patterned transom. The whole row once had three-story cast-iron balconies on its front, and they were still in place in 1939-40.

2. 1888

   August 14

   South Village Italians found Tiro a Segno, a rifle club that later settles at 77 MacDougal

   Tiro a Segno, Italian for fire at the target, dates to August 14, 1888, when South Village Italians formed it as a rifle club. Its members, a mix of artists, architects, businessmen and doctors, met in the neighborhood and practiced at a clubhouse and range on Fox Hill, Staten Island. The club later made 77 MacDougal Street its home, and Village Preservation calls it the oldest continuing Italian organization in the South Village.
