19 Greenwich Avenue is built in 1890 as the twin of No. 17 for developer John Goerlitz
No. 19 Greenwich Avenue was built in 1890 for John Goerlitz alongside its twin at No. 17, to designs by Franklin Baylies. It rises five stories in red brick with a shop below, and its fifth-floor windows are topped with bracketed cornices. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 1969 district report noted that both buildings keep their upper-floor details unaltered.
“…both rise to a height of five stories. With shops at street level, they retain unaltered their detail above them.”
