This Greek Revival rowhouse was constructed c. 1838-40 by John H. Cornell, believed to be a high-ranking officer at the Mechanic’s Banking Association on Wall Street. It became the residence of N.H. Wolfe, owner of the oldest flour and grain company in New York. A celebrated World War II entertainment venue for GIs was also located here.
