    Aquila G. Stout built Nos. 22 and 24 East 10th Street in 1844 as investments, while he lived on East Ninth Street. Two years later he left his business after being chosen president of the Eagle Fire Insurance Company. No. 22 was later raised to a full third story with a fourth floor and a bracketed cornice, and its right-hand windows were widened.

    “He left the business in 1846, when he was elected president of the Eagle Fire Insurance Co. ... Nos. 22 and 24 East Tenth Street in 1844.”
