1845
Robert Bent owns a $5,000 house on this lot that later becomes a five-story tenement
Tax records from 1845 list a house on this lot that Robert Bent owned, valued at $5,000. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's survey judges it likely that this single-family house was later altered into the existing tenement, since maps from 1852 on show no change in its footprint. City housing inspection records list it as a multiple dwelling by 1901, and its Italianate window trim probably dates from the conversion.
