Benjamin S. Webb finished 311 East 10th Street around 1853, about when the pair at 327 and 329, likely the district's earliest purpose-built tenements, went up. The Landmarks report calls it a pre-law tenement, five stories tall on a lot about 25 feet wide. Such buildings likely housed ten to twenty families, in four apartments on each upper floor plus two at the rear of the ground floor.
