Lash and Ellen Rosebrock Associates November 1, 1971 November 9, 2025 () The red brick Federal two-story-over-raised-basement townhouse with a dormer attic was built in 1834 by David Christie, a stone cutter, for about $2,600. The brick is laid in the Flemish bond pattern. "These residences of the 1820s were almost all builder's, carpenter's, or stonemason's homes, and there were several blocks of them at one time. In 1899 Montgomery Schuyler, the critic, wrote that they were 'the most respectable and artistic pattern of habitation New York has ever known.'" The house was listed April 19, 1966, as a New York City Landmark. The structure retains all original window frames and lintels (except in the dormers).http://neighborhoodpreservationcenter.org/db/bb_files/131-CHARLES.pdf Landmarks Preservation Commission LP-0212 March 12, 2010 September 8, 2008 https://web.archive.org/web/20080908063905/http://www.neighborhoodpreservationcenter.org/db/bb_files/131-CHARLES.pdf dead At least until 1971, when the property was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places, the trim was white and many original interior features of the house remained. Some minor exterior changes were made during the Victorian period. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 for its architecture. From 1959 to 1968, the photographer Diane Arbus lived in the former stable behind the main house at 131 Charles St. The address of the back house is 131½ Charles St.https://www.wsj.com/articles/former-diane-arbus-home-is-for-sale-1430355434 Former Diane Arbus Home Is for Sale The Wall Street Journal April 29, 2015 Barbanel Josh See also List of New York City Designated Landmarks in Manhattan below 14th Street National Register of Historic Places listings in Manhattan below 14th Street References External links Forgotten NY New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission report, April 19, 1966 collapsed collapsed Category:Houses on the National Register of Historic Places in Manhattan Category:Houses completed in 1834 Category:Federal architecture in New York City Category:New York City Designated Landmarks in Manhattan Category:West Village Category:Greenwich Village Category:1834 establishments in New York (state)
