    Anthony Schafern leases No. 437 from William B. Astor, one of five tenements built on the row

    No. 437 was one of five buildings, on lots 37 to 41, that tax records show were put up about 1860 on land the Astors owned. The land had passed from John Jacob Astor to William B. Astor. The lot was leased to Anthony Schafern in 1862, and the five-story tenement still has its galvanized-metal cornice and frieze.
