Michael McGovern has two tenements built side by side at 45 and 47 Second Avenue
In 1867 the pair of four-story Italianate tenements at 45 and 47 Second Avenue went up together on one lot for Michael McGovern, designed by John O'Neil. They predate New York's first tenement law of 1879, which is why they are classed as pre-law tenements. Stone lintels and sills and a bracketed and modillioned cornice decorate the facade, and cast-iron piers survive in the left storefront.
