3-story residential building completed in 1822 as a 2-story townhouse for William F. Hyde. One of the oldest houses in Greenwich Village, it is also one of the few remaining clapboard structures in Manhattan. The third floor was added in 1870, and several other alterations were made in the 1900s. A Greek Revival doorway, imposing for such a modest house, is raised a few steps above street level. The windows all have muntined double-hung sash, some of which were probably originally made by Mr. Hyde himself. The two windows above the doorway, divided into three parts and shaded by wooden hoods resting on brackets, are unusual. All the windows, except these, have exterior shutters; the windows, of the third story have little cornices. Crowning the house is a charming wood cornice resting on brackets. The paneled wood fascia board is, attractively decorated with jig-saw scroll work. A simple wrought iron railing surrounds this corner house on two sides.
