Stuyvesant Street, at left, angles off from E. 10th Street just west of Second Avenue. Peter Stuyvesant's mansion was located approximately where the UPS delivery truck is parked on the south side of the street. In the triangle formed by the two streets stands the renowned Renwick Triangle, built by the renowned architect James Renwick, Jr. in 1861. |

"Next to the Stuyvesant Fish house is the "Renwick Triangle", at Nos. 23-35 Stuyvesant Street and Nos. 114-128 East 10th Street. These Anglo-Italianate row houses are attributed to James Renwick Jr., who is best known as the architect of the Smithsonian Institution's "Castle" on The Mall in Washington D.C. These row houses were some of the last single-family homes built in the neighborhood, and they have always been among the most sought after properties in the East Village."
