East Village
This handsome building was constructed in 1863 at the height of the Civil War, making it one of the earliest extant tenement buildings in the area. Though the neighborhood has changed in character since the 1860s, the 150-year-old Italianate style building has retained its extraordinarily high level of architectural integrity, which includes rare surviving cast iron storefronts with Corinthian pilasters, two-over-two wood sash windows and a bracketed pressed metal cornice.
