Daniel Devoe rebuilds this house as half of a pair for owner James D. Oliver
In 1870 the architect Daniel M. Devoe reworked this building together with its twin at 548 for the owner, James D. Oliver, after the street in front was widened. The four-story Italianate tenement with a shop at street level still keeps cast-iron storefront piers and a bracketed cornice with foliate ornament, though some window lintels have since been shaved down.
“Rebuilt as part of a pair with 548 LaGuardia Place; facade dates from alterations undertaken in 1870 when the building was effectively rebuilt…”
