    In 1899 Bernhard Klingenstein bought lots 51 and 53 on East 6th Street, which became 411 and 409. He had the two tenements built together on a single building permit, so they went up as a matched pair. The landmarks commission's survey of the district cites the purchase in the city's property conveyance records.

    “Lots 51 and 53 were purchased by Bernhard Klingenstein in 1899 (Liber 70, page 187) and the buildings were constructed on the same building permit.”
