1841
No. 36 Eighth Avenue starts as a three-story 1841 house and is later joined with No. 34 into one apartment building
No. 36 started in 1841 as a three-story house, paired with No. 34 next door. The two have since been remodeled as one five-story apartment building behind a high brick parapet. The two lowest floors were rebuilt in Roman brick, with a row of bricks laid on end just above the second-floor windows, and the entrance now sits in the middle at street level.
“…they have been remodeled as an apartment house with central entrance at street level ... The building is now five stories high, crowned by a high brick parapet…”
