In 1891 Alphonse Hogemaner replaced frame dwellings at 52 and 54 Barrow Street with a pair of five-story brick apartment buildings designed by Bruno W. Berger. The Neo-Grec fronts are rich in detail; at No. 52, which keeps its stoop and original ironwork, small sculpted heads mark the keystones of the brownstone first-story windows. Both buildings had fire escapes ending above the entrance doors.
