Around 1852-53 John M. Ferdinand put up a pair of tenements at 327 and 329 East 10th Street. The Landmarks Preservation Commission calls them likely the earliest purpose-built tenements in the East 10th Street district, on lots that stayed free of row houses into the early 1850s. Like most pre-law tenements there, they rose five stories on lots about 25 feet wide.
“The earliest purpose -built tenements within the historic district are likely the pair at 327 and 329 East 10 th Street, which were constructed around 1852 -53 for John M. Ferdinand…”
