Description & Building Alterations

This six-story building was built as a tenement building. The building has an irregular plan, differing from the dumbbell plan because of the width of the building. It was designed with a mirrored plan of the neighboring building by the same architect, but the facade ornament is different. This building also has flat lintels with scallop shells but the windows are configured differently. There are arched windows with architraves embellished with egg and dart molding with a cartouche-like keystone. There is a Greek key pattern on the beltcourse above the second floor as well as panels and Corinthian pilasters. the ground floor still has its stoop and original ornament, but the cornice is missing.

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.
