    Commission merchant Benjamin J. Howland soon takes No. 10 as his home

    Importer William H. Russell built No. 10 East 10th Street in 1842 as an investment rather than a residence. Before long it became the home of Benjamin J. Howland, a commission merchant. A heavily rusticated arched basement entrance was added in a later alteration, and the upper part of the original doorway was saved by turning it into a window.
