    Alessandro Delhi Paoli commissioned this six-story tenement in 1911, and the firm Horenburger & Bardes designed it in Renaissance Revival style. The glazed white brick facade is dressed with terra cotta, including two-story window frames with brackets and festoons, and a cornice hung with garlands. The original decorative fire escape still survives, and cast-iron columns stand beside the central residential entrance.

    “…built as a pair with 174-176 Spring Street for Alessandro Delhi Paoli in 1911, and was designed in the Renaissance Revival style by Horenburger & Bardes.”
