Charles Rentz Jr., the architect of Webster Hall, designs a tenement for 114 East 7th Street
Rentz, born in New York in 1855 to a cigar manufacturer from Wurttemberg, was a beer dealer before the 1880 census listed him as an architect. He designed many flats and tenements, but his best-known work was Webster Hall and its annex, begun in 1886. The Landmarks Preservation Commission lists 114 East 7th Street, about 1899, among his later designs; he died by 1906.
