Architect Albert Buchman designed this Romanesque Revival commercial building, built in 1887-88 for Alexander List and Thomas Lennon; it has a brownstone ground floor, a corner tower and a round-arched seventh story. It was one of Buchman's last works before he formed a partnership with Gustav Deisler, which went on to design many commercial buildings in SoHo and Ladies' Mile. It went up as the area was turning commercial and older dwellings were being replaced by loft buildings.
“…designed by architect Albert Buchman, and built in 1887-88 for owners Alexander List and Thomas Lennon…”
