TheEdward Mooney House is a building at 18Bowery, at the corner ofPell Street,[3] in theChinatown neighborhood ofManhattan,New York City. It was built between 1785 and 1789 for wealthy butcher Edward Mooney on land he purchased after it was confiscated from British LoyalistJames De Lancey.[2][4]
The brick house was built in a mixture ofGeorgian andFederal styles, and is New York City's earliest remaining Early Federal style townhouse.[2] It has three stories plus an attic and full basement. The home was located close to the slaughterhouses, holding pens and tanneries where Mooney made his living; he occupied the house until his death c.1800.[2]
In 1807, the size of the house was doubled by an addition to the rear. The house would be used as a private residence until the 1820s after which it has served at various times as a hotel, brothel[5] and saloon.
The house was designated aNew York City landmark in 1966 and was added to theNational Register of Historic Places in 1976.
