Description & Building Alterations

This six-story new law tenement was constructed in 1903 by owner Charles Weinstein and designed by architect George Frederick Pelham. The tenement was originally occupied by 27 families and two stores.

The Queen Anne style facade features variations of decorative stone lintels. An egg-and-dart molded beltcourse separates the second and third stories and stone quoins run along the outer edges of the second through fifth stories. In 1968, the ornamental portion of the cornice became corroded and began to fall into the street, so it was repaired by installing new metal to replace the old. That cornice has since been removed. The stores at the ground level have been converted to apartments.

The fire escape consists of beautifully swirled and forged wrought iron, which is common for this style.
