Built in 1895-96, this five-story corner building was the pendant to No. 8 next door, and architect Henry Anderson designed both for Minnie M. Mott. Anderson set bricks diagonally in the spandrel panels under the fourth-floor windows to give the facade a textured pattern. The stoop was later removed, the street level stuccoed, and the roof cornice replaced by a stuccoed parapet with a railing.
“Spandrel panels beneath the windows, with brick set diagonally, create a textured pattern at the fourth floor.”
