8 Third Avenue & 95 East 10th Street Building Date : 1886 Original Use : Residential Original Owner : S. Thorne & S.F. Jenkins Original Architect : James M. Farnsworth & Co. Description & Building Alterations This five-story old-law tenement still retains its original cornice, but its ground floor storefront has been altered. The quirky Stuyvesant Curiosity Shop occupied this ground floor in the 1920’s and 30’s. In the 1950’s through 1970’s a wine and liquor store occupied the 3rd Avenue and 10th Street storefronts. The building also housed the March Gallery from 1957 until 1960, which was run by Boris Lurie, a Holocaust survivor. Lurie gained national attention in 1960 as one of the founders of the NO!art movement, which stood in opposition to the popular movements of the era such as Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art.
