Description & Building Alterations

Built in 1886 and designed by George B. Pelham, father of George F. Pelham, the 5-story tall, 4-bay wide tenement originally housed 18 families. The brick and stone facade has all been painted white, making it hard to read any original details. The stone lintels and sills have all been shaved down and windows have all been replaced and the pressed-metal cornice has been removed. The original entrance has been modified and the ground floor stores altered and refaced with faux stone.

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.
