345-349 6th Avenue (New York City, New York)

USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / New York City, New York / Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas), 345-349
 bank, apartment building

4-story residential building made up of three older structures. The corner building is the oldest, completed in 1825 as a 2.5-story Federal-style house for Alfred S. Pell. It was purchased by the Greenwich Savings Bank in 1847, who owned it until 1854. It was raised to 4 floors in 1858, and a 1-story extension on West 4th Street was added in 1886. The facade is clad in red brick, with a white stone storefront on the ground level. It also has a dentilled cornice that is echoed over the low rear extension, but in somewhat later style. The ground floor became a restaurant in the mid-1900s.

Adjoining on the north side are a pair of houses originally completed together in 1848, both of which have been extensively remodeled. No. 347 was incorporated into the restaurant that opened in the corner building. No. 349 has large plate-glass windows at the second floor level. Both houses had their cornices replaced by low roof parapets, and both are painted red to match the older building.

All three buildings were later joined and converted to apartments, and the ground floor of No. 349 is occupied by a GameStop, while the rest of the ground floor is occupied by a Capital One Bank branch.
