History
33 Perry was built by Charles Pearsall as a stable in 1897. The contractor's son and architect Henry Andruss, Jr designed a dignified brick and granite structure with rusticated base, corner quoins, granite string courses, arched upper windows and an articulated copper cornice. The style of a classic Italian 'Villa Rustica' - the nobility's working farm manor - is apt for an urban commercial stable.

In the 1920's, the carriage doors were replaced by the current central window. The horse ramp and the 26 stalls were removed and new residential apartments were created by architect Harris V. Hartman. Befitting the Romanesque style, Hartman added elements of historic craftsmanship; wrought iron gates and lanterns, inlaid tiles, stained glass, plaster reliefs and the imposing riveted plank entry door.
