27A Harrison Street was originally built in 1819 by John McComb. In 1972 this townhome was one of three homes that the city moved one block over from Jay Street. At this time, most federal style townhouses had been torn down and the Landmarks Preservation Commission wanted to save the few that remained. These three townhomes were moved to complete a block of nine landmarked federal style residences dating from 1796-1828. Landmarks believed that these homes were so unique that they wanted them to stand together on a single block. Moving the three homes and restoring all nine townhomes proceeded during the early 1970s. Today, 27A is one of the oldest New York City homes that has been thoughtfully gut-renovated over the years while keeping its history alive.
