William S. Wright develops the row at 335-345 East 10th Street, and may have designed No. 339
Around 1860 William S. Wright developed a row of six tenements at 335 to 345 East 10th Street, and this five-story brick building is one of them. The Landmarks Preservation Commission says little is known of Wright's training, only that city directories listed him as an architect from 1855 to 1867. Because he owned and developed the row, the commission thinks he may also have designed it.
“Little is known about the architectural training or professional career of William S. Wright. He was listed in city directories as a practicing architect from 1855-67.”
