    Joseph Buttenweiser bought the lot in 1897 and commissioned a six-story Renaissance Revival tenement from George F. Pelham shortly afterward. Pelham used nearly identical facades on numerous buildings in the district, including 221 East 5th Street, 65, 67 and 75 East 4th Street, and several on East 7th Street. The ground story here was rebuilt in a 1942 alteration.
