William H. Russell, an importer who lived across the street at No. 9, put up Nos. 8 and 10 East 10th Street in 1842 as investment properties. They joined Nos. 12 and 14, which the builder Joseph Depew had erected three years earlier, to form a row of four Greek Revival houses sharing one cornice line. No. 8 still has its original small square attic windows.
“Nos. 8 and 10 were built in 1842 as investments by William H. Russell, an importer, who lived at No. 9 East Tenth Street.”
