Six-story buildings at 391-393 Sixth Avenue give way to a one-story self-service grocery
Where six-story buildings once stood on Sixth Avenue, a single low store was fitted out in 1955. By the time the Landmarks Preservation Commission described the Village in 1969, it held a self-service food store serving the residential and commercial blocks around it.
