2. 1898

   Schneider & Herter, German-born architects who also designed Park East Synagogue, draw the plans

   Ernst Schneider and Henry Herter both emigrated from Germany and worked together for almost twenty years. Besides tenements and houses across Manhattan, the firm designed synagogues, among them Park East Synagogue on East 67th Street, now a city landmark. Their East 3rd Street work also includes numbers 54 and 60, and 27 East 3rd Street dates from 1898.
