Julius Kastner designs a double-flat tenement for developer Jacob H. Miller
In 1886 developer Jacob H. Miller demolished an older house at 46 East 7th Street and hired architect Julius Kastner to design a five-story tenement in its place. The red-brick building mixes Renaissance Revival terra-cotta plaques and bandcourses with neo-Grec stone lintels, and its stoop has cast-iron newels and railings. It is a "double-flat" layout with two apartments on each floor.
