A tenement replaces an iron foundry on the lot
In 1853 an iron foundry occupied this lot and the two lots beside it. The current pre-law tenement was built in 1865 for owner Jacob Rwelerher. Its cornice, lintels and window alignments match those at 274 East 3rd Street, built the same year, probably by the same architect.
