The story has it that the houses were built by a sea captain who had two feuding daughters.

The daughters wouldn’t speak to each other, so he built identical houses for them with the shared garden, hoping they would get along again.

Who doesn’t want to believe a story like that? Unfortunately, no evidence supports it.

A New Jersey milkman named Jacob Huyler is credited with building the twin houses, which originally stood only two stories high.

“Huyler never lived in New York, but he did not sell the buildings—he held them for rental,” wrote Christopher Gray in the New York Times in 1996. One of those renters was listed at the time as a captain.

By the end of the 19th century, the mansard roofs and a third floor were added, and both homes were carved up into rooming houses for artists and working-class residents.

Today in a pricier Greenwich Village, the houses are single-family residences again. They retain their 19th century loveliness, and strollers often stop and stare.

These twin beauties are emblems of a much different New York, when a legend about a sea captain using real estate to help bring two sisters together doesn’t seem like too much of a stretch to believe.

John Sloan

Painter John Sloan captures three young women in a semi-private ritual in “Sunday, Women Drying Their Hair,” from 1912.

Watching the three from his studio at Sixth Avenue and West Fourth Street, Sloan called them unselfconscious performers in “another of the human comedies which were regularly staged for my enjoyment by the humble roof-top players of Cornelia Street,”

The BEATLES on The ED SULLIVAN SHOW

February 1964

Thousands of overwhelmingly female, hyperventilating fans converged upon Pan Am Flight 101 when it landed at Kennedy Airport, hoping to catch a glimpse of John, Paul, George and Ringo. The “Fab Four,” who had just skyrocketed to the top of the charts with “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” were poised to conquer American radio waves and the hearts of eager teens from coast to coast.

By simply taking their first steps on American soil, the adorable, coiffed lads from Liverpool started a near-riot. Their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, two days later, solidified the beginnings of musical and cultural revolutions and the Beatles’ place as rock ‘n roll royalty. On August 15, 1965, the wildly popular foursome continued their love affair with New York fans by performing rock music’s first stadium concert to record-breaking crowds at Shea Stadium.
