Tenants.
Concerned with the entirety of this structure’s lifespan from 1857 to 1956, the Mining @ Tenth Street project traces the networked relationships of the patron-class family that commissioned the building, the talented social network of predominantly arts professionals that inhabited and later owned it, and what studying their stories in aggregate reveals about the history and canon of American art.
This project began with an influential dataset compiled by Blaugrund for her dissertation and subsequent publications about the Tenth Street Studio Building, which included all the tenants of the nineteenth century that she could identify. Organized alphabetically by tenant last name, Blaugrund’s roster includes the full name, birth year, death year, and years of occupancy for all known tenants. The Mining @ Tenth Street datasets extend Blaugrund’s nineteenth-century roster further, adding names and also more extensive details about tenants’ lives, as well as compiling and sharing for the first time a roster of the Studio Building’s twentieth-century tenants.
The Mining @ Tenth Street project adds over 250 tenant names to the 159 previously identified tenants of the Tenth Street Studio Building assembled by the art historian and curator Annette Blaugrund in the 1980s and 1990s. Blaugrund’s evolving dataset was published within three consecutive publications:
- “The Tenth Street Studio Building: A Roster, 1857–1895,” American Art Journal 14, no. 2 (1982): 64–71.
- “Tenth Street Studios: Roster Update,” American Art Journal 17, no. 1 (1985): 84–86.
- The exhibition catalogue The Tenth Street Studio Building: Artist-Entrepreneurs from the Hudson River School to American Impressionism (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 1997), 133-134.
Updated tenant data produced by the Mining @ Tenth Street project team are published in three charts below. The data is arranged into three sections according to landlord era. The charts document which tenants were previously identified by Blaugrund and also document tenants’ gender, following the binary convention for how gender was discussed from 1857 to 1956.
Chart showing Tenth Street Studio Building Lifespan data according to landlord era and research source. Annette Blaugrund’s contributions are color-coded in shades of green and the addition of new data by the Mining @ Tenth Street project team is color-coded in red, orange, and yellow.
The landlords of the Studio Building were:
- James Boorman Johnston and John Taylor Johnston, the brothers who owned the building and its annex from 1857-1893.
- John Herbert Johnston, who inherited the building and annex from his father, John Taylor Johnston.
- Tenth Street Studios, Incorporated, a cooperative formed in 1920 by artist-tenants who purchased the building and its annex from John Herbert Johnston.
Instructions for reading the following charts: In the “Blaugrund Roster” column, 1 indicates that the tenant’s name appears in her roster; 0 indicates that it is a tenant identified by the Mining @ Tenth Street project team. In the column “Woman Tenant,” 1 indicates that the tenant likely identified as a woman while in residence; 0 indicates that the tenant likely identified as a man.
First era of ownership: Individuals who registered their first year of tenancy when the building was owned by James Boorman Johnston and John Taylor Johnston or from 1857 to 1893.
