1914
A 1914 Sanborn map already shows the brick garage at 58-16 69th Avenue
No building permit was found for this one-story garage, but it appears on the Sanborn fire-insurance map of 1914, so the Landmarks Preservation Commission dated it to roughly 1904-1914. Faced in orange iron-spot brick, it keeps its cross-braced wooden doors and a metal cornice, with decorative brick corbels on piers at each end. A railing, a satellite dish and a metal frame with pulleys were later added on its roof.
“Constructed before 1914, according to Sanborn map of that year; no NB found.”
