Developer Philip Gottfried put up this two-story commercial building at 37-52 to 37-58 82nd Street in 1930-31, under new-building permit NB 6001-1930, to designs by M. Hirsch. Hirsch's neo-Tudor front frames large three-part windows at the second floor with decorated brick panels and bands, and the parapet carries blind Gothic arches and little terra-cotta turrets. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 1993 report presents it as typical of the shops that filled this block close to the el station; by then big signs hid most of the fascia, and every original storefront had been replaced.
