The plans indicate that the buildings were to be faced with brownstone.  In 1893 the building was altered by creating a new stairway at the street to the basement and new doors and windows at the front and rear of the building at the basement level.  These alterations were done so that the basement could be converted into a dining room and kitchen for the owner, Samuel Greenfield of 116 Columbia Street.  In the late 1890’s the building was again altered, this time removing and replacing the cellar and first story walls.  Fire escapes were added to the building in 1938 by owner Max Streger.
