In 1906 Charles Darrow built a six-story new-law tenement here, to plans by the architect John Voelker. Its off-white brick walls carry white terra-cotta trim, including molded window surrounds, and a pressed-metal cornice with garland ornament. The entrance projects forward on brackets carved as lions' heads, and the ground floor was fitted with storefronts.

John Voelker, who designed 199 Prince Street, practiced as an architect in New York from 1897 to 1940
City directories list John Philip Voelker (1856-1940) as a general-practice architect beginning in 1897, and he kept working through 1940. In 1895 he designed a Romanesque Revival factory at 22 Jones Street, and in the South Village he designed several tenements and a loft building. His one work in the Sullivan-Thompson district is the tenement at 199 Prince Street, finished in 1906.
“He designed the tenement at 199 Prince Street in the Sullivan-Thompson Historic District.”
