Markham Realty replaces three older buildings with a one-story workshop at 11-13 Leonard Street
In 1920 the Markham Realty Corporation erected a one-story industrial workshop more than fifty feet wide on this site, designed by Queens architect Edward Schneider and built by G. Genovese & Son. This earlier building has since been replaced by the present one. It displaced a four-story masonry dwelling converted to commercial use, a three-story structure behind it and a frame building with a masonry front.

A frame dwelling turned tenement with a blacksmith's shop gives way to a workshop at 15 Leonard Street
Before 1924 the lot at 15 Leonard Street held a three-and-a-half-story frame dwelling converted to a tenement, with a brick rear extension eventually used as a blacksmith's shop. Broker Walter B. Lawrence owned it in 1906, and realtors William D. Kilpatrick and James H. Cruickshank had it by 1916. In 1924 the front building was demolished and replaced by a one-story workshop, the work of architect Charles Goldman for A.H. Matthews & Company.
