    A 1910 flats building on 71st Avenue later trades its stoop for street-level shops

    This three-story brick and stone flats building went up in 1910 under a single permit, NB 1287-1910, shared with the seven neighboring buildings from 59-11 to 59-25 71st Avenue; neither its architect nor its first owner has been identified. At some point, possibly in the 1930s, its stoop was taken away, the first floor was dropped to sidewalk level, the entrance was moved and storefronts were put in. The Landmarks Preservation Commission thought the south storefront and the first-story cornice might date from that conversion.
