    Developer James Mulry builds three matching Italianate row houses

    Developer James Mulry completes three identical four-story Italianate rowhouses at 106 to 110 East 10th Street in 1867, on land leased from the Stuyvesant estate, to designs by D. & J. Jardine. The houses are restrained for their style, with brownstone panels under the parlor windows instead of cast-iron balconies. Mulry first leases No. 106 to Pedro San Juan, who ran a cigar business, and the widow Emilie Steinbach takes the lease in 1871.

    Actor Edward Arnott testifies that he never married the wife suing him for divorce

    Actor Edward Job Arnott of Wallack's Theatre troupe and his wife, the actress Emma Elizabeth Champness, rent rooms at 106 East 10th Street after their June 1874 wedding. In 1877 she seeks a divorce, and Arnott testifies in court that he was never married to her because he was already married. He had left a first wife and two children in England in 1873. The judge denies her application, and Arnott goes on to further bigamous marriages.

    The city designates the row house part of the St. Mark's Historic District

    106 East 10th Street is designated part of the St. Mark's Historic District in 1969, along with its identical neighbors at Nos. 108 and 110. Village Preservation notes that the Jardine-designed group echoes the materials and composition of the larger row on the triangular eastern end of the half-block. Its Italianate ornament is described as simple and understated.
