History: No. 314 was purchased by Louise Wise Services in 1961 and converted into a home for girls. The house is once again a single-family residence. No. 314 is one of a trio of row houses designed by Clarence True for W. E. Lanchantin that were proposed as part of a West 82nd Street Historic District, along with 316 and 307-325 West 82nd Street, that was heard in 1986. In 1992 the Commission moved to take no action on the proposal. References: LPC Research files; NYC, Department of Buildings, Certificate of Occupancy 56015, July 2, 1962.
