1906
Harry Zlot, mainly a plumber, designs a new front for 309 East 10th Street
In 1906 a Renaissance Revival facade by Harry Zlot was put on 309 East 10th Street, an existing building. Zlot, born in Russia in 1879, is credited with several six-story brick tenements and a seven-story loft between 1905 and 1912. The Landmarks Preservation Commission says he seems to have worked mainly as a plumber, and records credit him with more than a dozen Manhattan outhouses.
