131 Charles Street, Federal townhouse in Greenwich Village, United States.
The brick two-story residence at 131 Charles Street exhibits symmetrical design with a raised basement, dormer attic, and Flemish bond pattern construction.
David Christie, a stone cutter, constructed this Federal-style residence in 1834 for approximately 2,600 dollars during the expansion of Greenwich Village.
The residence exemplifies the Federal architectural period, which emerged after American independence and influenced residential construction throughout New York City.
The structure maintains its original window frames and door elements, earning recognition on both the National Register of Historic Places and New York City Landmarks.
A secondary building at 131½ Charles Street, formerly a stable, served as home to photographer Diane Arbus from 1959 to 1968.
