A row of six Art Deco shop buildings with flats upstairs goes up on 39th Avenue
Around 1931 six attached two-story brick buildings, Nos. 50-12 through 50-22, were built fronting north onto 39th Avenue, each with a store at street level and a residential flat above. No. 50-18 is one of the five, 50-12 to 50-20, whose fronts together make a symmetrical facade, and their upper floors keep Art Deco brickwork in dogtooth, zigzag and soldier-bond patterns under cast-stone coping. By the 2007 landmark survey none of the original storefronts survived and every historic window had been replaced.
