    Architect William Jose designed this brick building in 1871-72 for George Kuhn. It combined ground-floor stores with apartments above, on a fringe of SoHo that was filling with factories, warehouses and tenements. The upper facade keeps its Italianate details, including molded segmental lintels, bracketed sills and a wood cornice, and the upper floors are still residential.
