George F. Pelham designs No. 441 as a five-story tenement for ten families
Read more
No. 441 is the westernmost of five matching five-story tenements filed in 1902 under plans signed by architect George F. Pelham, built to match an adjoining row by Neville & Bagge; the developer was possibly Gaines, Roberts & Co. Pelham's drawings gave each floor two six-room apartments, with a four-room janitor's apartment and storage in the basement, so each building could house ten families. The row followed the Tenement Law of 1901, which ended the narrow, rowhouse-width tenement and required bigger buildings with better ventilation, hot water, heat and electricity.
