A former rector of St. Mark's sells the lot for four times what he paid
After East 10th and 11th Streets opened in 1826, Peter Gerard Stuyvesant sold this lot, the one next door and two on 11th Street to the Rev. William Creighton, rector of St. Mark's from 1816 to 1836, for $4,000. On February 1, 1853, Creighton sold the same land to George Farrar for $16,000. Farrar soon passed it to Bartolome Blanco, and the houses at 127 and 129 followed in 1854.

The New York Mission and Tract Society links two houses to lodge its mission workers
Number 127 was built in 1854 for John Harriott, and its neighbor at 129 for Bartolome Blanco. By 1903 the stoops of both had been removed, and the New York Mission and Tract Society joined their interiors to house the workers who served the neighborhood. In 1933 St. Mark's Church bought No. 127 from the society for $24,000, and received No. 129 as a gift from Anna Bliss.
