Irman Realty builds a high-rise on the Jane Street corner of the Eighth Avenue block in 1959, with its entrance at 31 Jane Street. When the Landmarks Preservation Commission reported on the district a decade later, it called the tower a break from the Village's scale and beauty, with windows grouped in ever larger multiples. It pointed to the three small houses beside it as a warning of what unreviewed new construction could do.
