The plaque says, "This mansion was once part of the row that lined the entire blockfront. With its arched Federal-Baroque doorway, grand proportions and original wrought iron handrailings at the stoop, it is now a rare survivor of a type which, because of its great cost, was never common. The row, one of the few ever built in this style in New York, was constructed in 1832 by Thomas E. Davis, a speculative builder. No. 20 was purchased by Daniel Leroy, brother-in-law of Hamilton Fish and son-in-law of Nicholas Fish, whose nearby home at No. 21 Stuyvesant Street is also a landmark.
