It includes two Federal town houses, an eighteenth-century church and mid-nineteenth-century Italianate row houses.","why_significant":"The district is notable for its associations with the Stuyvesant family and for the quality and variety of its architecture. It occupies part of Peter Stuyvesant's Bouwerie farm and keeps its own street pattern shaped by Stuyvesant wills. Its Federal houses, St. Mark's-in-the-Bowery and Italianate rowhouses are among the best of their types in the city.","narrative":"This residential district in Manhattan lies between Second and Third Avenues and East 9th and East 11th Streets, on part of Peter Stuyvesant's old Bouwerie farm. Its street pattern grew from the wills of successive Stuyvesant generations. Three buildings date from the lifetime of Petrus Stuyvesant: St. Mark's-in-the-Bowery (1795-1799), No. 44 Stuyvesant Street (1795) and No. 21 Stuyvesant Street (1803-1804), which was the birthplace of Hamilton Fish. The church combines a late Georgian body, a Greek Revival steeple added in 1828 and an Italianate cast iron porch of 1858. Most of the remaining area was developed after the late 1850s. It includes three matching Italianate houses at 106-110 East 10th Street and the Triangle, a group of brick buildings designed to read as one grand Italianate structure. Later waves of immigrants turned many houses into rooming houses, but the district keeps much of its original character.","period_of_significance":"1795-185-","architect_builder":"Martin Thompson (steeple of St. Mark's, 1828); The Triangle often attributed to James Renwick, Jr.","architectural_style":"Federal, Georgian, Greek Revival and Italianate","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition marked good and altered; the district is occupied, restricted in access, and in private residential use.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:50:38.870786-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/74001276.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/74001276/5e86473491-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/74001276/5e86473491-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Beyond My Ken","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stuyvesant_Street.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Beyond My Ken</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Stuyvesant_Street.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"85001956","name":"Saint Mark's Historic District (Boundary Increase)","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/new-york/saint-marks-historic-district-boundary-increase-85001956/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75319937","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Mark%27s_Historic_District","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7589961"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/manhattan/st-marks-historic-district-74001276/"}
