Michael Bernstein designs an Old Law tenement for two owners
Architect Michael Bernstein designed 309 East 8th Street in 1897 for William Feinberg and Joseph Polstein. The six-story Old Law tenement was built to house 17 families, and its Renaissance Revival facade has terracotta keystones and spandrel panels. It appears to retain its original cornice and ground-floor facade.
