In 1889 Herter Brothers designed the paired six-story buildings at 49 to 53 Grove Street and 317 to 321 Bleecker Street for Joel & Hyams. The district report preferred the Grove Street front to the Bleecker one, which fire escapes hide. Band courses and heavy window lintels stress the horizontal, while terra cotta panels and blind arches with conch-shell motifs decorate the upper floors.
