CHARMING WEST VILLAGE TOWNHOME The History: “When Bedford Street was laid out in 1799, the Village of Greenwich was a sleepy hamlet nearly a day's ride from New York City to the south. In 1819, merchant Isaac Jaques purchased land which included three building lots at 64 through 68 Bedford Street. Working with masons James Vandenberg and Isaac Freeman, he filled the parcels with three identical, Federal-style homes in 1821. Like its identical neighbors, 64 Bedford Street was two-and-a-half stories tall. Its Flemish bond red brick was trimmed in brownstone. Typical of the style, two prim dormers punched through the peaked roof. ” Provided by DaytoninManhattan.
