A former stable site makes way for plain five-story apartments with shops
Soon after 1873, simple five-story apartment buildings go up on Eighth Avenue near West 4th Street on the site of a former stable. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 1969 report notes shops at street level, completely plain walls and a notably heavy roof cornice on brackets.
“Located on the site of a former stable, these very simple five-story apartments were built soon after 1873.”
