Description & Building Alterations

According to tax records this building dates to 1837. The simple brick facade features projecting stone lintels and bricks turned vertically to mimic a continuous lintel at the third story. The brick parapet is adorned with three diamond shapes. In 1920 the building was converted from a three family tenement to a two family with an auto repair shop.  Owner Charles Rosenbaum of 245 East 2^nd Street modified the building to accommodate this use by lowering the first floor, raising the second floor, and extending the rear of the building.
