    Architect Ernest Greene designed this six-story tenement in 1906 for Mary E. Gregory. Red brick is laid in contrasting rectangular patterns, with heavy stone bands, stepped corners and a recessed entrance between Ionic columns. The cornice is corbelled brick and stone rather than metal. The fire escape has scrolled console brackets.

    A livery stable, once a brewery, stood at 149 Sullivan Street before the 1906 tenement

    Atlases from before 1906 show a livery stable at 149-151 Sullivan Street, and it had itself replaced an earlier brewery. The lot sat beside the Greek Revival Free Congregational Church of about 1846, later replaced by St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church. The stable was cleared for the tenement built in 1906. This describes earlier buildings on the site.

    Pino's Prime Meat Market at 149 Sullivan Street is an Italian-owned butcher shop more than a century old

    When the city landmarked the Sullivan-Thompson district, its report named Pino's Prime Meat Market at 149 Sullivan Street among the area's lasting Italian-American businesses. The report said the butcher shop had been Italian-owned for over a century. Family-run butcheries and bakeries like it passed skills down through generations and served mostly Italian-American neighbors.
