It was heightened two stories in 1872.Norval White and Elliot Willensky, AIA Guide to New York City, rev. ed., (New York: Collier Books, 1978), 272. The structure is noteworthy for its elaborated round-arched brownstone doorcase, or "enframement of the front door," which has an exceptional treatment of painted timber Ionic half-column sidelights, unique and highly significant in New York City architecture. Due to the sidelights, "instead of leaded glass, typical of the time, each sidelight is divided into three superimposed oval sections. The ovals are formed by a richly carved wood enframement that simulates a cloth sash curtain drawn through a series of rings."http://www.neighborhoodpreservationcenter.org/db/bb_files/116-SULLIVAN-STREET.pdf Landmarks Preservation Commission LP-0645 2010-03-12 2016-03-03 https://web.archive.org/web/20160303204509/http://www.neighborhoodpreservationcenter.org/db/bb_files/116-SULLIVAN-STREET.pdf dead thumb|left|upright|The door The house stands on land previously belonging to the farm of Nicholas Bayard, Peter Stuyvesant's brother-in-law, and is one of seven houses that was built as an investment by Charles Starr, a bookbinder, whose business was on Nassau Street.
