    The extension of Seventh Avenue South slices an 1876 apartment house in two

    No. 152-154 was a five-story apartment house that Valentin Hammann commissioned in 1876 from the architect F. W. Klemt. When Seventh Avenue South was cut through in 1919, the building was bisected, and a new long diagonal brick front, six windows wide, was built along the avenue. Plain brick soldier-course lintels and a stone band course tie the new front together, with stores at street level and an entrance to the apartments above.
