When the Commissioners of Forfeiture auctioned off British sympathizer, James DeLancey’s property in 1785, at $50,000, Edward Mooney was there. A high-pro- file player in the colonial wholesale meat business, he was also t he representative of the City’s butchers in the Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen. He purchased the lot at the corner of Bowery and Pel l for his new residence.

Mooney built his house sometime between the auction date, just after t he British fled New York, and 1789, the year Washington was inaugurated on Wall Street. It represents the newer Federal architecture while holding on to some of t he tradi- tional Georgian designs. A beautiful deeply-set arched Georgian doorway flanked by slender columns displays a fanlight with delicate spiderweb tracery. As with the stone window lintels, a double keystone block cr owns the entrance.

Edward Mooney lived in his house unt il his death in 1800. By t he 1820s the house had been converted to a tavern and would never again be u sed as a private residence. During the 20th Century it went through many transformations including a hotel, poolroom, brothel, store, restaurant and a Chinese club.

Upon designating the Mooney House a landmark in 1966, t he Landmarks Preservation Commission remarked that it “has a special character, special historical and aesthetic interest, and value as a part of t he development, heritage and cultural characteristics of .” It added that it is the only extant townhouse from the American Revolutionary period.

It was also stopping ground for the notorious Bowery Boys, and Dead Rabbit gangs. Later to be the more gentrified section of the Bowery in a brief period that saw Jacob Astor purchase the row North of Pell Street and erect the Bowery Theatre. Mooney House is now surrounded by New York’s bustling Chinatown. Finally the building is coming full circle with the planned historical restoration by Little Red House and re purposing back to its 19t h Century use.
