Description & Building Alterations

As of the 1862 map, there were two small woodframe structures on this lot with stores beneath. The 1867 map and tax records show two masonry structures at this location by 1867.

All original details, seen in the 1940 tax photo, have been stripped. Avenue C facade was 3-bays wide, but the central bay has been bricked in. On the East 10th Street facade, 2 bays have been bricked in and the storefronts removed. There is the slightest hint of the curved window lintel visible which has been shaved down, but would have graced all the windows originally. The building is also missing its cornice.

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.
