No. 12 East 8th Street went up around 1834-35 as one of a series of houses built for different owners on Snug Harbor land. In 1916 the landowner had it remodeled for conversion into apartments, to designs by Maynicke & Franke. It was paired with No. 14 behind a central stair tower and given a stucco front, a steeply pitched roof with a studio skylight, and a tripartite arched window at street level.
