Description & Building Alterations

This Old-Law Tenement was one of two buildings constructed in 1899 by J. Roth and M. Wielandt. The construction costs for both buildings was $60,000 and combined they housed 42 families. In 1903 the storefronts of the building were altered by the owner Isidore Leipzig of 340 Eats 4^th Street employing the services of architects Ebeling & Meyer of 194 Bowery. In 1930 additional openings were cut into the building and entrances on the 3^rd Street elevation were bricked in by owners Morris Levinson and Solomon Shapiro.

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.
