1848
A Gothic Revival town house goes up at 4 East 10th Street for the Remsen estate
Built in 1848 for the estate of Peter Remsen, No. 4 was one of very few Gothic Revival town houses in the Village and in the 1850s was home to John F. Butterworth, a merchant. It probably resembled No. 18 on the same street, but after 1900 the stoop was removed and a basement entrance added, and the label moldings over the windows were flattened.
“This house was built for Peter Remsen's estate and was the home of John F. Butterworth, a merchant, in the Eighteen-fifties.”
