The brick townhouse at 65 Pitt was built in the 1850s, well before the classic Lower East Side tenements on either side, and was home to an Austrian rabbi. More famously it was the first home of Streit’s Matzo. In the 1950s , neglected, it was lovingly renovated by two young schoolteacher artist families, the Lawrences and the Lees. A daughter, Linda King, still lives there and has agreed with co-residents Jill Repplinger, Mary Berning and six cats to host an Essential Prayers concert in their home.
