Frank Straub rebuilds a two-family house into a six-story building with stores
A 1906 alteration by architect Frank Straub replaced the front wall of the existing house, removed the rear and part of the side walls, and added a rear extension. Before the work the house held two families. Afterward it was to hold stores and a tenement, with two families on each floor and one in the basement. The entrance was changed again in a 1927 alteration.
