Plainer three-bay shop building sits within a symmetrical Art Deco row
No. 50-14 belongs to a group of six two-story store-and-apartment buildings put up about 1931 on 39th Avenue, where Nos. 50-12 through 50-20 make one symmetrical front with alternating flat and stepped rooflines. Three bays wide, it lacks the dogtoothed brick of 50-12 and 50-16, and its brick ornament consists of corbels between the floors and soldier-bond corbels and coursing at the top. By 2007 its storefront had been rebuilt with a stained-glass door and transom and a ground floor faced in what looked like glazed floor tiles.
“All six buildings are attached and have alternating flat and stepped parapet roof lines.”
