Info
The 32, 34 & 36 Dominick Street Houses are three row houses on Dominick Street in the Hudson Square District of Manhattan in New York City.Around 1826, twelve Federal style brick row houses were constructed by builder Smith Bloomfield on the south side of Dominick Street between Hudson and Varick Streets, from No. 28 to No. 50. Each house was 20 feet wide, accept for No. 28 which was 20.8 feet. 40, 42 and 44 were demolished around 1922, and later on the empty lot they left behind was completely cleared and used as one of the sixty-foot wide entrances to the Holland Tunnel. In 1926, No. 28 was demolished to make way for a building designed to be lofts.
On March 27, 2012, the three houses were officially designated as landmarks by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. Examples of row houses built in this style are exceptionally rare in New York, and are survivors from a different time, thus being worthy of a landmark designation. They were also built with the Flemish bond brick pattern.
The fourth surviving row house, 38 Dominick Street, was originally proposed for designation as well, but was ultimately declined by the commission because it had been renovated too much from its original style.
