Description & Building Alterations

This building may have the remnants of late nineteenth-century tenements as the underlying structure, but the building’s current facade dates to 1961. The apartment building is a continuation of the remodeling that occurred on lots 11 and 15. The simple modern beige-brick facade has little ornamentation except for a thin stringcourse running horizontally under the windows of all the upper floors.  Each window bay consists of a set of three double-hung aluminum windows.  There are also grates for air conditioners under each set of windows. The lot was once part of William B. Astor’s holdings between 1850-1875.
