    Twelve-bay front shared with 47-12 ends in stepped-parapet bay windows

    On 43rd Avenue this building and 47-12 read as one twelve-bay front under a single roofline. Slightly projecting fourth-floor bay windows at each end rest on small brick brackets, rise above the roof and finish in stepped parapets, with brick arches over their windows. By 2007 the brickwork above the top-floor windows had been coated in stucco and the basement windows filled with pierced concrete block.

    “…two projecting bay windows, one at each outermost bay at the fourth floor…”
