1902
Brothers Mitchell and Michael Bernstein, designers of 181 Prince Street, form the firm Bernstein & Bernstein
The brothers Mitchell and Michael Bernstein became partners in 1902, launching the firm of Bernstein & Bernstein. They drew up homes, shops and religious buildings across the city, and the Landmarks Commission credits them with ten tenements in the Sullivan-Thompson district, 181 Prince Street among them. The partnership ended in 1911, and the two brothers then worked separately, until 1937 and 1940 respectively.

1908
Six-story tenement with a store goes up at 181 Prince Street for B. F. Golden
In 1908 the architects Bernstein & Bernstein designed this six-story new-law tenement for B. F. Golden, with a shop at street level. The brick front is buff-colored and trimmed in limestone, with a patterned belt course and a metal cornice carrying egg-and-dart molding. It matches the building next door at 179 Prince Street, which the same firm designed in the same year. Parts of the shop front have since been modernized, though one patterned cast-iron pier by the residential door survives.
