    A tenement inscribed "Bonsall" opens on East 10th Street as a home for wayward boys

    The five-story tenement went up in 1890 for owner B. F. Ayres, with Benjamin E. Lowe as architect. Its ground-level frieze is inscribed "Bonsall," for Robert Bonsall, a name tied to a family that held several lots on the block from the 1840s onward. Village Preservation's building record says it was a home for wayward boys when new.
