2. 1871

   142-144 Greene is an early Fernbach cast-iron building with French-style arched windows

   The Landmarks Preservation Commission cites 142-144 Greene Street, along with 165-167 Mercer Street of 1870-71, as an early cast-iron work by Henry Fernbach. Both use the French segmental window arch, a motif borrowed from stone buildings and imitated in iron. Fernbach was German-born, but his designs leaned heavily on French models.
