Store-and-flat building opens a row of six with Aztec-patterned Art Deco brick
Built about 1931, No. 50-12 is the first of six attached two-story buildings on the south side of 39th Avenue between 50th and 51st Streets, each with a shop below and a flat upstairs. Its facade is among the row's most ornate, with a stepped parapet, header bricks in an Aztec pattern, vertical strips of dogtoothed brick and small cast-stone crenellations. By 2007 its original storefront was gone, replaced by aluminum panels, plate glass and a wide sign.
