    A 1914 map shows this corner store-and-flats building with its two-shop extension

    The Landmarks Preservation Commission could not identify the architect or first owner of this three-story building with stores below and flats above, and dates it only to about 1904-14. A brick extension on its north side, holding two storefronts, appears on the 1914 Sanborn map, so it was either original or added before then. The main block is faced in gray iron-spot brick with brownstone and limestone and has an iron fire escape and a cornice with dentils and festoons. Historic storefront pilasters and a storefront cornice remain at its southern end.
