    Isidor S. Korn commissioned the architect Alexander I. Finkle to put up four five-story tenements at 171 to 177 Bleecker Street under one building application. Their facades were composed to read as a single larger structure. Each building held stores on the ground floor and rooms for 18 families, two on the first floor and four on each floor above. The fire escapes that now cross the fronts were added only in the late 1930s.
