Description & Building Alterations

A new building permit for a thirteen-story hotel was filed in 2017 and construction was completed in 2019. Previously, five Beaux-Arts style five-story Old Law tenements were located on this site built between 1887 and 1891: 112 East 11th Street in 1887, 114 East 11th Street in 1889, and 116-120 East 11th Street in 1891. In 1940, Pete Seeger, singer, songwriter, and civil rights and anti-war activist, moved into the demolished 118 East 11th Street building with his brother. These five tenements once stood directly across the historic Webster Hall concert building. Village Preservation requested the landmark designation of these buildings as part of an East Eleventh Street Historic District, but that request was denied by New York City, click HERE for the letter.

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.
