Irving Feldman has architect Herman Siegel rebuild the front of an 1881 tenement at 227 East 5th Street
The building went up in 1881 as a twin of 229 East 5th Street. In 1966-67 owner Irving Feldman had architect Herman I. Siegel replace the facade, adding a concrete stoop and wrought-iron railings. The landmarks commission describes the original front as completely altered, and lists the building's style as none.
“Facade rebuilt in 1966-67 with concrete stoop and wrought-iron railings. Originally built in 1881 as a pair with the adjacent building at 229 East 5th Street.”
