    No. 119 and its twin at No. 117 went up in 1899 for Jackson & Stein, designed by Michael Bernstein. Both are six stories with stores on the street, upper windows set between brick piers, and Romanesque Revival arches at the top. Although the two share one design, each has a separate entrance.

    “They were built in 1899 with stores at street level... They were built for Jackson & Stein by Michael Bernstein.”
