Number 39 Christopher Street is one half of a pair of apartment houses built in 1907-08
No. 39 was built in 1907-08 to a design by Richard Rohe, one of two identical six-story apartment houses (with No. 35) put up for Dominick Abbate and Pietro Alvino. The brick front is symmetrical, with shops on the first floor, elaborate lintels over the windows and a brick parapet at the top. The 1969 Landmarks Preservation Commission report treats the pair as a single uniform facade.
“This pair of six-story apartment houses presents a uniform facade to the street. They were built by Richard Rohe in 1907-08 for Dominick Abbate and Pietro Alvino…”
