1928
The Mayfield Apartments rise at Seventh Avenue South and Perry Street
The six-story brick Mayfield Apartments, by the architects Gronenberg & Leuchtag, date to 1927-28 and were put up for the Perry Seventh Avenue Realty Company. The Landmarks Preservation Commission called it a dignified expression of 1920s taste, with stores at street level, single windows, picturesque gables over the end windows and a steep corbelled roof with a pair of chimneys with chimney pots. Its narrow northern end, with an arched stone entrance at 12 Perry Street, follows the odd lot left by the avenue's extension.
