    Fire destroys the roof of 1999 Morris Avenue

    A fire in 1969 destroyed the roof of 1999 Morris Avenue, the corner house at East 179th Street. The burned roof beams were replaced, but the galvanized iron cornice was taken off the east and north sides of the building. Its limestone bands and keyed window lintels still continue from the Morris Avenue front onto the East 179th Street side.
