Description & Building Alterations

No. 113 Avenue C was constructed along with its neighbors on either side in approximately 1846, according to tax records, for original owners Maguire and Brady. The group of buildings was owned by McGuire and Brady and included two additional buildings at the corner of Avenue C and East 7^th Street.

The first Department of Buildings record on file from 1874 states that the building was occupied by a store and dwelling. It was in that year that the building was extended to the rear by 18 feet, one story tall; it appears the ground floor was converted into a saloon after the alteration. The building today is solely residential with two apartments units.

It is three stories high, five bays wide and clad in brick with brownstone lintels and sills. The first floor has been sigificantly altered bu the metal bracketed cornice is intact.

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.
