This two-story commercial building at 37-36 to 37-40 82nd Street was built in 1928-29 for Prudential Associates, Inc., to designs by Boris Dorfman, and stands on two tax lots. Its neo-Tudor front survives in channeled brick piers and spandrels around the second-story windows; the pitched roof was first covered in multicolored slate. The upper story is now partly clad in corrugated metal, but the central storefront at No. 37-38 keeps glass-and-aluminum vitrines, bulkheads and paving.
