Daniel Rosenbaum, who had owned the lot since 1882, put up this five-story brick building in 1886. It was planned for eight families above ground-floor stores, and its facade mixes neo-Grec and Queen Anne details, including terra-cotta bands and plaques. It replaced older Village residences as tenements spread to house a growing immigrant and working-class population.
“…constructed in 1886 for Daniel Rosenbaum as an eight -family dwelling with stores on the ground floor…”

Matthew Del Gaudio cuts the building's occupancy from 14 families to nine
Over the decades the building had been subdivided to hold 14 families, with extra apartments on every floor. In 1926 Matthew Del Gaudio, who designed Our Lady of Pompeii Church just down Carmine Street, was hired to rework the interior and bring the count down to nine families. A 1938 alteration then replaced the cornice with brick.
