This block is part of the East Village / Lower East Side Historic District, and contains examples of pre-law, Old Law and New Law tenements in different styles. Numbers 116-122 and 123-129, two sets of four pre-law tenements on either side of the street, were built by developers on land leased by the Astor family. Number 122 has a well-preserved storefront, with wood-frame show windows and cast-iron piers and columns. Number 121 offers a striking example of a converted rowhouse, which was transformed into the First Hungarian Reformed Church in 1903-04. The church retained the house’s fenestration, but added a stone façade with arched openings and a belfry-like dormer at the roofline. Next door, numbers 117 and 111 are two New Law tenements designed in the Renaissance Revival style. Up the block, past the ornate Saint Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr Roman Catholic Church, which was the center of the Lower East Side Polish Roman Catholic community until the mid 20th century, numbers 95-97 and 97½-99 are Old Law tenements built in the Queen Anne style. East 7th Street between Avenue A and First Avenue  is located in the East Village/Lower East SIde Historic District, which was deginated in 2012
