No. 10 East 8th Street, built in 1835 for John Johnston, has a basement shop and a store above it
Built in 1835 for John Johnston, No. 10 East 8th Street was part of the row Sailors' Snug Harbor leased out on the south side of the block. It now has a shop in the basement and a higher store reached by steps inside the building line. Its painted brick front and its height let it blend with the stucco row on either side, which was remodeled in 1916. At the top, a studio window of low height has been punched through the cornice, off to one side.
“No. 10, built in 1835 for John Johnston, blends with its neighbors both because of its height and because its brick facade has been painted.”
