135 BOWERY

Unknown architect
1819

This three-story-with-attic building is wood frame construction, with a brick façade laid in Flemish bond. Its peaked roof has twin gabled dormers and an original end chimney. This building was home to a number of businesses, including a milliner, gambling dive, barbershop, pawnbroker and a jewelry store, all reflective of the diverse businesses in the Bowery over time. Unfortunately the building was drastically altered in 2012.
