The firm Bernstein & Bernstein designed this new-law tenement at Spring and Sullivan Streets for Charles Friedman in 1902. Built in red and buff brick with terra-cotta trim, it has a chamfered corner and projecting end bays that face the intersection. The Spring Street entrance still has its original wooden molding and transom, along with cast-iron piers at street level.

The Bernstein brothers, sons of Jewish immigrants, design 195 Spring Street in their first year as partners
Michael Bernstein, born in Russia in 1867 to Jewish parents, reached New York with them about 1870, and his younger brother Mitchell was born after the family arrived. The two formed Bernstein & Bernstein in 1902, and the district report lists the corner tenement at 195 Spring Street among the firm's works.
