1884
A twin tenement goes up at 339 East 6th Street beside No. 337, built together and still alike
No. 339 East 6th Street was built in 1884 on the same permit as No. 337, with the same plan: four families per floor and shops at street level. The two buildings look identical, and later changes were made to both in step. Their ground-floor storefronts were filled in with red brick sometime between the 1940s and 1980s tax photographs.
“…constructed simultaneously with 337 East 6th Street. The buildings share an NB number and are identical in appearance, including later alterations.”
