347 East 10th Street | Block : 393 | Lot #1

Description & Building Alterations

There are two buildings on lot 1 that used to be separate lots (1 and 3).  Corner lot building is a Renaissance revival building executed in tan brick and white terracotta.  The building features scrolled keystones, splayed lintels, cartouches and decorative spandrel panels as well as decorative iron balustrades on some sections of the top floor.  When this building was erected in 1908, it included space in the ground floor for stores and housed thirty families.  The building adjacent to it, formerly of lot 3, is now connected to it.

This five story building was once a tenement building with a store on the first floor.  The windows of this tenement building have been relocated indicating that the building has been remodeled for the floors to match the neighboring cornier building.  This is obvious from the mismatched brick infill and remaining lintels and beltcourses that do not correspond to the placement of the new windows.  This alteration happened some time after the 1980s tax photograph was taken.  This 1895 building retains its Renaissance Revival cornice.
