Not much in the way of documentation about this one, apart from the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission’s report on South Street Seaport. It says 227 Water Street became a corner site after Beekman Street was laid out, which means most of those windows and doors on the Beekman side are later intervention. It came pretty close to being demolished surprisingly recently, in 1993, only to be saved by a grant from the New York Landmarks Conservancy. Now it’s apartments.
