No. 1096, also numbered 721 East 166th Street, is the corner building of a group of five that Warren C. Dickerson designed in 1902 for developer Thomas Quinn: four two-family rowhouses and this store with apartments above. Although they follow two different designs, all five went up under a single building permit and share one pressed-metal cornice.

Sealed by 1982, No. 1096 has lost its windows, doors and storefront fittings
The three-story corner building has buff brick walls, rusticated brick piers around its curved corners and entrance bay, and limestone lintels with raised keystones over two-over-two wood windows. Its ground floor held two storefronts, both heavily altered. When the Landmarks Preservation Commission described it in 1982, the building had been sealed and had lost its window sash, doors and storefront elements.
“Window sash, doors and storefront elements have been lost since the building was sealed.”
