    No. 113 is the better preserved half of a pair of five-story apartment houses that William Jose designed in 1873 for John Rubenstein. Stores occupy its ground floor. Its heavy bracketed cornice with an imposing arched pediment is the best surviving sign of the pair's original appearance, since the matching cornice at neighboring No. 111 was removed.

    “The heavy bracketed cornice with imposing arched pediment at No. 113 shows the original appearance of the pair.”
