No. 16 East 8th Street becomes the pivot of a remodeled row, with a two-story pilaster topped by an eagle
In the 1916 remodeling of the Sailors' Snug Harbor row on East 8th Street, No. 16 was treated as the center of the whole group. It received a new ground-floor store with three round-arched casement windows above it, and a two-story pilaster at one side that the Landmarks Preservation Commission compares to Roman fasces, topped by an eagle. A cornice with a tall triangular ornament crowns the central top-floor window.
