Edward Mooney House, Federal style townhouse in Chinatown, Manhattan, United States.
The Edward Mooney House stands at 18 Bowery Street with three stories, an attic, and a full basement constructed in brick with Georgian architectural elements.
Built between 1785 and 1789 on land confiscated from British Loyalist James De Lancey, the house belonged to Edward Mooney, a successful butcher in Manhattan.
The building represents the earliest remaining townhouse in Manhattan that combines both Georgian and Federal architectural styles in its construction and ornamentation.
Located at the intersection of Bowery and Pell Street, the structure underwent an expansion in 1807 that doubled its original size with a rear addition.
After Edward Mooney's death around 1800, the building transformed through multiple functions, serving as a hotel, brothel, and saloon until the 1820s.
