    In 1908 the firm of Bernstein & Bernstein designed this six-story tenement with a ground-floor store for owner B. F. Golden. Its buff ironspot brick facade matches the one next door at 181 Prince Street, apart from a slightly narrower eastern bay. Limestone sills, a fretwork belt course and a pressed-metal cornice with egg-and-dart molding carry the Renaissance Revival detail. The storefront has been modernized, but the wooden panels beside the residential door remain.
