    H. M. Tostevin, George Orr and John J. Roberts had this five-story brick apartment house built in 1887, at the corner of Leroy Street. Its plain brick front has evenly spaced windows, alternating bands of brick and stone on the ground floor, and a bracketed cornice. The 1969 Greenwich Village report lists it on the west side of Seventh Avenue South, between Bedford and Leroy Streets.
