    The building went up in 1905-06 for Michele Briganti, with Horenburger & Straub as architects. It stands on the border between SoHo and Little Italy, where tenements were rising among the factories and warehouses. It has a ground-floor store, brick quoins and arched sixth-story windows, and the upper floors remain apartments.
