65-67 Jane Street

 apartment building, 19th century construction

4-story residential building originally completed as three separate houses. They are all entered through a gate at the rear of the lot, around the corner from Greenwich Street. Nos. 811 and 813 were built in 1839, when the Greek Revival style was in vogue, while No. 809 dates from 1854.

No. 809, four stories high, was built for Garret Green. It echoes the style of his earlier houses adjoining but has an Italianate roof cornice typical of its date of 1854. On the Jane Street side, the roof cornice has not been returned and there is a Drick parapet with stone coping, stepped down toward the rear of the house following the slope of the roof. Both sets of end windows are blind.

The two northern buildings have had the stoops eliminated, and are now entered from the basement at the rear. The basement stories are rusticated, and the smooth surface of the stonework contrasts pleasantly with the brick above. The northernmost building had its top story raised to provide full height windows at the fourth floor, while the middle house retains the small attic windows.
