George Reichhardt builds 39 Carmine Street as the first of a neo-Grec trio
Read more
George Reichhardt had number 39 built in 1873 to a design by William Graul, and Charles Pfizenmayer put up the two neighboring tenements, 41 and 43, at the same time. Construction on the three ran from October 1873 to March 1874. Each was meant to hold four families per floor above its stores, and none has air shafts because they predate the 1879 tenement law.
“…constructed in 1873-74 for George Reichhardt (no. 39) and Charles Pfizenmayer (nos. 41-43) ... constructed between October 1873 and March 1874…”

Samuel Roth converts the ground-floor stores of 39 Carmine Street into apartments
Read more
In 1957 the commercial spaces at number 39 were turned into apartments to the plans of architect Samuel Roth. The storefront came out and a brick wall with windows replaced it. Otherwise the neo-Grec front, with its cast-iron lintels and sills, has changed little since it was built.
