Description & Building Alterations

The two buildings at 161 Avenue A and 281 East 10th Street are owned by the Boy’s Club of New York.

No. 161 Avenue A was originally erected in 1900, designed by P. H. Ohm Sturgis & Hill. It was raised from five stories to six stories between 1912 and 1916. No. 281 East 10th Street was constructed as a seven-story addition to the existing building in 1916.

The facade has been recently repaired in 2007. Most historical details have been removed, including the roof cornice, the point-arched entrance opening with surrounds on east facade, and the windows have been replaced/reconfigured. It is now also called the Harriman Clubhouse, one of the three locations of the Boy’s Club of New York.

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.
