History: No. 310 is one of a trio of row houses designed by Clarence True for W. E. Lanchantin that were proposed as part of a West 82nd Street Historic District, along with 316 and 307-325 West 82nd Street, that was heard in 1986. In 1992 the Commission moved to take no action on the proposal. References: LPC Research files; NYC Department of Buildings, ALT 1563-1952.
