In 1849 William H. Harrison had a three-story brick building erected at 8 Christopher Street to serve as a shop, replacing an earlier shop on the same lot. Its large window areas show that commercial purpose, and the upper casement windows and a small brick cornice with dentils survive from the original. An alley runs along its east side to the back of the lot.
