Many,
many, years ago I passed this building and there was a plaque next to the front
door that “Diamond Jim Brady” had lived here. The main floor shortly thereafter
was turned into a Japanese Restaurant and the plaque disappeared somewhere
along the way. I think also that the present façade is colored faux-stone
designed stucco and not the original brownstone.
It is
amazing sometimes the buildings that manage to survive in NYC.

Urban Legend Alert –
Have been
informed that Diamond Jim Brady did not live here by a reliable source. A typo
in a 1952 New York Times article had a typo regarding 7 West 86th
Street NYC etc.
