    Nos. 37-43 Eighth Avenue were built for the developer Aaron Marsh between 1842 and 1845. Like its neighbors at Nos. 33-35, the row is a near-triangle with stores at street level. Here the storefronts share a wide band of wood, and the arched doorway of No. 43, with a lamp above it, drew particular praise in the 1969 historic-district report.
