Close-Up on 128 East 10th Street
We found ourselves pushing a baby carriage with a few minutes to kill in the East Village last weekend–luckily we had our camera on us. The first block we strolled down was East 10th Street where we paused at the intersection of 10th and Stuyvesant just before Second Avenue. Fittingly, this house actually has two addresses–128 East 10th Street and 37 Stuyvesant Street. We’ve always loved this corner house with its ivy and bay windows. It truly feels out of another era–more so than most old brownstones. According to Property Shark, the building dates to 1900, though the chap emerging from the basement apartment while we were taking pictures thought it was built considerably earlier than that. We love The Shark, but it doesn’t always get the date right. Anyone know for sure? GMAP
