1870
A four-story house is built at 310 East 9th Street
Historic tax records date the four-story house with a basement to 1870, when it was numbered 215 East 9th Street. Sources disagree on the owner, with tax records naming Hamilton Fish and the Real Estate Record and Builders' Guide naming Joseph Hewlett. The listed builder is Ed Waring. The facade today has a round-arched stoop entrance with leaf-topped pilasters and a bracketed cornice.

1909
Christodora House acquires the rowhouse on East 9th Street
In 1909 Christodora House, a settlement house founded in 1897 by Sara Carson and Christine MacColl, buys the former residence. At the time the group is based on Avenue B, and it serves the immigrant community around the neighborhood. A staff doctor, Dr. H. Hallarman, provides medical care, and the house offers classes and clubs such as a Poets' Guild. By 1929 Christodora is preparing to move to a new sixteen-story building facing Tompkins Square.
