    George F. Pelham designed this six-story tenement in 1898 for the developer Joseph L. Buttenwieser. It was laid out for four families on each floor, 24 households in all, with two commercial stores in the basement. The projected cost was $27,000. Its buff-brick front with terra-cotta ornament matches several other Pelham tenements nearby, including 59, 70, 72 and 74 East 7th Street.
