- 1848
A single-family rowhouse is built at 356 East 8th Street
Owner Mr. Adams commissioned the original rowhouse in 1848, when the block still held single-family homes rather than tenements. It was likely raised by an extra story later in the nineteenth century as the East Village grew denser and rowhouses gave way to multi-family housing nearby.
- 1912
The rowhouse is converted into a multi-family tenement
By 1912 the building had been subdivided from a single-family home into tenement apartments, as was its now-demolished neighbor at no. 354. Joseph Rosenbluth owned the property by 1940, and between 1968 and 1970 its apartments were reconfigured again, this time into duplexes.
