Francis Kane has 355 Sixth Avenue built, later fitted with sheet-metal window pediments
No. 355 was built in 1829 for Francis Kane, who also owned No. 353 next door. In the second half of the nineteenth century, elaborate broken-pediment window cornices made of sheet metal were attached to its lintels. By 1969 the house was four stories high, with a store at street level.
“No. 355 had elaborate broken pediment window cornices of sheetmetal added to the lintels in the second half of the Nineteenth Century.”
