156 Waverly Place was built by Lambert Suydam in 1839 as part of a row of eight Greek Revival town houses, comprising most of the block, on land formerly part of the Alfred S. Pell estate. Suydam, formerly president of the Manhattan Gas Light Company, became president a few years later of the New York Equitable Fire Insurance Company. No. 156 best represents the original appearance of this row. It is three and one-half stories in height plus garden level and has a unique attic story set within a high entablature. Above its stepped architrave was a frieze of delightful bull's-eye windows, of which the two central ones remain., while the two outer ones have been remodeled to provide small double-hung sash windows. This beautiful house was the home of William H. Powell, merchant in 1851. Currently there are six apartments. Many original details include high ceilings throughout, 10 Fireplaces with original mantels, a huge garden with separate patio, third floor terrace and fabulous roof top views.
