Scottish ship joiner Robert Laton is the first owner of 295 East 10th Street

Dr. Julius Martinson, cleared over a patient's 1914 death, runs his practice from 295 East 10th Street
Physician Julius Martinson owned 295 East 10th Street in the 1920s and converted it into a two-family residence with an office for his practice. In 1914 a 22-year-old patient, Connie May Thomlinson, nine days married, died of peritonitis after a procedure he performed at a maternity hospital, and an inquest examined his role. Village Preservation reports that a grand jury exonerated him in 1922.
