No. 22 East 11th Street is part of a Greek Revival brick row of 1839 on the south side of the block. A mason named John Morss bought most of the lots here and sold them to the first owners, and he was probably the builder of the row. With No. 24 it is described as the prototype for the row, which runs from No. 16 to No. 28.
“John Morss, a mason, bought and then sold most of the properties on this block front to the original house owners of 1839.”
