Narrow shop building carries a stepped parapet and a column of dogtoothed brick
No. 50-16 is one of six attached two-story buildings with stores below and flats above, built about 1931 on 39th Avenue between 50th and 51st Streets. Only one bay wide, it has some of the row's richest Art Deco brickwork: a stepped parapet capped in cast stone, a vertical band of dogtoothed brick down the middle and upright courses of soldier bricks. By 2007 the storefront had been replaced, with corrugated metal under the windows and a security gate.
