   A tenement at 215 Thompson Street is built for 22 families, with stores below

   Michael Bernstein designed 215 Thompson Street in 1900 for owners Morris Lippman and Harris Friedman. The six-story brick and terra-cotta tenement was built to house 22 families above its ground-floor stores. A fire escape was added to the front in 1938, and the northern and southern storefronts still hold some historic material.

   “This tenement was originally constructed for 22 families with stores at the ground floor. The fire escape was added to the front of the building in 1938…”
