A Jones Street tenement is gutted in 1959 to fit more tenants
In 1959 the 1872 tenement at 29 Jones Street was gutted to increase occupancy. The Landmarks Preservation Commission thinks the ground-floor shop was turned into apartments and the facade replaced then. The building had been one of three tenements with stores designed in 1872 for Jacob Schmitt.
“The building was gutted in 1959 to increase occupancy and it is probably at this time that the first story was converted to apartments…”
