The Rofrano tenement at 170-172 Thompson Street is built as two buildings that share one front door
The six-story tenement at 170-172 Thompson Street, built in 1899, was historically two buildings sharing a single residential entrance, though they now stand on one tax lot. The brick, terra-cotta and limestone front has pedimented window lintels, round-arched openings on the fourth floor and a projecting central pair of bays. Basket-style fire escapes with ornamental ironwork were part of the design.
