Built about 1843-44 for Thomas Crane, 301 East 10th Street began as a house of two and a half stories with a small attic under a pitched roof. It stayed a single-family dwelling into the 1880s, and in 1886 a story and a half were added on top. It keeps a Greek Revival entrance form with protruding ears, though much altered.
