    This six-story Renaissance Revival tenement dates to 1897 and was built for Jacob Klingenstein from plans by George F. Pelham. It was meant to house 26 families, four on each floor and two in the basement, at a projected construction cost of $27,500. Pelham used the same or nearly the same facade on a number of other East Village tenements.
