The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 2012 report on the East Village/Lower East Side Historic District points to the Astor-owned tenement at 122 East 7th Street, built around 1862-63, as one of the best-preserved tenement storefronts in the district. Pre-law tenements often placed shops on either side of a central entrance. Here the wood-framed show windows, cast-iron piers and columns, and a modillioned cornice across the facade survive.
