1964
A basement restaurant is apparently added here, followed by street-level shops
Built in 1889 as one of two near-twin tenements for owner William Rankin, this building later gained commercial space. A restaurant was apparently first fitted into the basement in 1964 under alteration application 96-1964, and stores on the first story followed shortly afterward. At some undetermined date its first-story brick and brownstone details were stripped and replaced with larger storefront windows.
