Schneider & Herter design an Old Law tenement at 240 East 2nd Street
Architects Schneider & Herter design 240 East 2nd Street as an Old Law tenement for owner Leopold Kaufmanns. It houses 22 families in apartments reached by a stoop, which appears to have been removed in 1938, and it has two basement-level stores. The cornice has also been taken off at some point.
