1853
J. Palmer's lot at 313 East 6th Street gets a single-family house in 1853, later converted into a tenement
Tax records show the lot was vacant and owned by J. Palmer in 1852, and a house went up here in 1853 as one of five matching row houses on his land. The Landmarks Preservation Commission says the houses seem to have been converted into tenements because their footprints never change on historic maps of the block. This conversion was done before the turn of the century.

1948
A social club occupies the basement of 313 East 6th Street, with apartments above
A Certificate of Occupancy application filed in 1948 shows that a social club was operating at basement level here, with apartments on the floors above. The city had already recorded the building as a multiple dwelling in 1902, so the club shared a house of apartments that dated from the 1850s. The detail comes from the Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2012 East Village district report.
“A 1948 Certificate of Occupancy application indicates that a “social club” was located at the basement level of No. 313 in that year, with apartments above.”
