Architect John C. Burne drew up this five-story tenement in 1890 for developer William Broadbelt, with stores at street level and room for sixteen families above. Its yellow brick front is trimmed with red brick, terra cotta bands and a checkerboard brick pattern. Broadbelt built it as developers replaced the Village's older single-family houses with housing for its growing immigrant and working-class population.
“…designed as a 16-family tenement with stores in 1890 by John C. Burne for William Broadbelt…”
