Theodore Wolinnin rents 125 East 7th Street and opens a funeral parlor on the ground floor
Beginning in 1926, Theodore Wolinnin rented this Astor-owned tenement together with its neighbor at no. 123, and he bought the pair in 1937. He ran a funeral parlor from the ground story and, after buying, had the storefront refaced in terra-cotta tile with ogee-arched openings in 1938.
