617-621 Hudson Street (New York City, New York)

 apartment building, Greek Revival (architecture), 1840s construction

A trio of 4-story Greek-revival residential buildings completed together in 1848. They are clad in red brick above commercial storefronts, but the corner building has been painted over in white. The store fronts are separated, from the upper living quarters by a severely simple cornice with moldings. The recessed entranceways at Nos. 617 and 619, leading to the upper floors, are designed in character with the cornice above them. Small moldings have been added to the simple stone lintels over the windows. Two buildings, Nos. 617 and 619, are capped by newer modillioned roof cornices and their paneled fascia boards have been embellished by pressed metal decoration. The roof cornice at No. 621 is in keeping with the Greek Revival design of the houses, which have all been converted to apartments. The ground floors are occupied by Piccolo Angelo restaurant, ABC Dry Cleaners & Laundry, and La Maison Supreme accessories and furnishings.
