In 1900 Samuel Ginsburg had the architect Michael Bernstein design a six-story old-law tenement here, with shops at street level and apartments above. It was one of three identical buildings on a single lot, numbered 188 through 192. Brick, stone and terra cotta make up the front, with a metal cornice and large segmental arches at the first story, and the fire escape is still the original.

Michael Bernstein, who designed 192 Avenue of the Americas, is one of two firms behind most Sullivan-Thompson tenements

Between 1900 and 1901, two architectural firms dominated the design of old-law tenements in what is now the Sullivan-Thompson Historic District. Michael Bernstein was one of them, with seven tenements to his name, including the trio at 188 to 192 Avenue of the Americas, finished in 1900. By then, architects in the area were almost all working in the Renaissance Revival style.
