In 1855 the lots at 109 through 117 East 10th Street were empty, each about 26 feet wide, and belonged to Hamilton Fish, who had been awarded them in the 1848 partition of Peter Gerard Stuyvesant's estate. The next year the builders Miller & Giles put up houses on the lots numbered 109 through 115, and the city assessed each one at $7,000.
“Numbers 109-115 were built in 1856 for Miller & Giles and were assessed at $7,000 apiece.”
