    Leopold Kaufman develops a seven-story terracotta tenement at 54-56 Elizabeth Street in 1901

    The historic-district survey describes 54-56 Elizabeth Street as a seven-story, twelve-bay tenement of brick and terracotta. Leopold Kaufman developed it, and the firm of Schneider & Herter designed it in 1901 in the Renaissance Revival style. The same architects appear repeatedly in the survey's lists of Bayard, Mott and Elizabeth Street tenements from the 1880s to 1900s.
