Description & Building Alterations

This 1867 row house was designed by architects D. & J. Jardine for developer Jame Mulry as a single family dwelling.

The building, which is identical to its neighbors at Numbers 110 and 106 East 10th, is of the Italianate style with simple, understated ornamentation in the form of stone cornice slabs supported by brackets surrounding the entry and above each window, a bracketed cornice, and decorative paneled stonework at the basement and ground floor levels. This group of row houses compliments the larger, grander row that occupies the triangular eastern portion of this half-block in material and composition, and is also a part of the St. Mark’s Historic District, designated in 1969. More information on this building is available in the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s designation report.

What is the Building Blocks Project

What does a building mean to someone who lives there? A person who lives on the block? In the neighborhood? In the city? This site presents a wealth of historic information gained from GVSHP’s architectural research survey about the buildings located in the East Village.

The site explores the area generally considered today as the East Village: from a northern border of 14th Street to a southern border of Houston Street, Avenue D in the east to 4th Avenue/the Bowery to the west. You can explore the information about the blocks and buildings featured here in two ways.

Pick a block. Maybe it’s yours, or perhaps it is just your favorite place to shop, grab a bite, or just people watch. Then explore the buildings that make up that block. Or take one of the many guided tours on the site, curated by a collection of organizations and experts from the neighborhood. See how they experience the neighborhood. Then tell us what the neighborhood means to you. The site’s comments section allows you to open a dialogue with others who feel just as passionately as you do about the East Village.
