Mathias Banta buys the Stuyvesant-Fish land and subdivides it, creating the lot for 116 East 10th Street
After Elizabeth Stuyvesant Fish willed her estate to be split among her four children, the land around St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery was sold in 1858 to Mathias Banta, on condition that no noxious businesses or tenement houses be built on it. Banta divided it into the present lots and advertised them in the newspapers, and they sold within months. James Stewart took the lot at 116 East 10th Street, and construction on the triangular block began in 1859.
