Description & Building Alterations

Tax lots 21 and 22 are now a new apartment building constructed in 2009 as an alteration. These two lots originally housed two tenement buildings, which were built along with a third on the adjacent lot 20 (422 East 10th Street). Like their sister building, they were designed by Charles A. Cochran and built circa 1874 of brownstone and were 5-stories tall. These two buildings each housed 16 families over ground floor shops.

In 1950, the two tenement buildings were replaced with a 1-story building with a garage, a warehouse and a loading platform designed by Morris Brody.

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.
