 museum, townhouse, Italianate style (architecture), non-profit organization

3-story Italianate residential building completed in 1856 as a townhouse for Moses Parker. Two nearly identical houses were constructed 8 years later on the west, also clad in brownstone. All three are rather narrow, only two windows wide, with narrow stoops. The roof line is topped by a bracketed and paneled cornice.

It was most recently occupied by Louise Bourgeois who lived here until her death in 2010. The foundation has preserved her studio and plans to provide public access.
