History

The Greek Revival building was built in 1832 [2] as part of a development by Thomas E. Davis of 3½-story brick houses which spanned both sides of the street. The Daniel LeRoy house is one of the three surviving houses of this development, the other two being 25 St. Marks Place and the Hamilton-Holly House at 4 St. Marks Place. It has a marble entrance ornamented with vermiculated blocks. Daniel LeRoy, a South Street merchant and son of wealthy New Yorker Herman LeRoy, married Susan Fish, daughter of Adjutant General Nicholas Fish and Elizabeth Stuyvesant (a daughter of Peter Stuyvesant), and sister to U.S. Senator Hamilton Fish. [3]

The building was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1969, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 29, 1982. In Spring 1998, restorations were made on the house, including repainting, repointing brickwork and replacing cornices. [4]
