The four-story brick apartment house at 791 Greenwich Street dates from 1879. Architect I. Irving Howard designed it for John Van Buskirk. It is much smaller than its neighbors, and its band courses, lintels and rich cornice are typical Neo-Grec work; it was altered in the first half of the twentieth century.
