    The Greenwich Investing Company put up this seven-story loft in 1910, to plans by Gronenberg & Leuchtag. Its president, Hyman Kantor, built several buildings around Greenwich Village in the early 20th century, and the same architects designed those too. Slightly projecting bricks form belt and band courses on the plain front, and the wrought-iron fire escape dates from construction.

    “Greenwich Investing Company president Hyman Kantor built several buildings throughout the Greenwich Village area during the early 20th century, also designed by Gronenberg & Leuchtag.”
