1906
The Hulse family buys the Escoriaza estate, whose lots later become the site of No. 22
At the turn of the twentieth century this stretch of St. Marks Place was part of the estate of Ladislao de Escoriaza, a merchant from Manhattan. The Hulse family purchased it in 1906 and sold it off in lots starting in 1908; No. 22 went up on one of them in 1918-19, built by Peter Larsen as one of a row of four Craftsman houses.

1919
No. 22 is built on a square plan with a shingled front, hipped roof and three-window dormer
Peter Larsen gave No. 22 a square footprint, wood-shingle siding, a covered porch on square columns and a hipped roof with overhanging eaves. Its facade is identical to that of No. 26, with its entry door set to one side and an attic dormer of three windows that still has its original diamond-paned upper sash. The bluestone sidewalk out front has been patched in places with concrete.
