    Shampan & Shampan design the Ageloff Tower apartment building

    The twelve-story apartment building at 43-49 Avenue A was built in 1928 for owner Samuel Ageloff, and it takes the name Ageloff Tower from him. Shampan & Shampan were its architects. The block it stands on was once part of William B. Astor's holdings and was leased to various tenants between 1850 and 1878.
