Edwin Bergh has a transitional Greek Revival and Italian Renaissance house built at No. 20
No. 20 East 10th Street went up in 1846 as the residence of Edwin Bergh. Its doorway is closer to the Italian Renaissance tradition than the Greek Revival, though the stepped, paneled wingwalls beside the stairs are Greek Revival survivals. The roof cornice with modillions is original, and a rusticated stone basement sets off the brickwork above.
