    Owner William Engel has windows added to an 1870s tenement at 225 East 5th Street

    W. J. Gessner built the five-story building around 1870-71 and served as both its owner and its architect. In 1887 owner William Engel hired the architect Jobst Hoffmann to cut more windows into floors two through five, creating new center bays that may reuse the old lintels.
