170–176 John Street is a commercial building erected in 1840 [2] facing Burling Slip (now filled in) on John Street along the East River in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan. It is one of a small number (possibly only two) of granite-faced Greek Revival buildings to have survived in New York City. [3]
It was originally known as the Hickson W. Field building; later, it was used as a ship chandlery and known as the Baker, Carver & Morrell Building. [4] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
In 1982, the real estate developer Daniel W. Gerrity converted the building to residential use, adding a sixth story. The architects for the project were Buttrick White & Burtis. [5]
