Jacob Ames, the original owner, built the four-story brick row house at 87 East 4th Street around 1856-57 in a stripped-down Italianate style. He also owned No. 85 and raised it to four stories in 1857-58. Later changes removed the stoop, cornice and window lintels and moved the entry to the basement.
