    A Talmud Torah ladies' auxiliary merges two 1840s houses at 224-226 East 5th Street into one

    The Ladies Auxiliary of the Rabbi Jacob Sirovich Talmud Torah owned the property in 1952, when the architects Schuman & Lichtenstein joined the two rowhouses built around 1844-45 for Anson Phelps. The remodeling gave the pair one smooth stucco face in a neo-Federal style, with a projecting entrance, sunburst details and a stepped parapet.
