In 1837 Ernest Keyser had a Greek Revival row house put up at 80 East 2nd Street, just a few years after the New York Marble Cemetery was founded behind it. The house went up together with its neighbors at Nos. 76-78, as a two-and-a-half-story building on half of the lot.

In 1880 the right half of the lot received a matching two-story extension for owner Emilia Sauer, so that the tax lot effectively held two houses. In 1883 the original house and the extension were both raised to three full stories.
