Samuel Ershowsky has Louis A. Sheinart give an 1840s row house, once a doctor's home and office, a new facade
No. 64 Second Avenue began in 1844-45 as one of the Phelps and Peck row houses. In the early 1920s it was a private residence and doctor's office, and by the 1940s it had been converted to multiple dwellings. In 1927 owner Samuel Ershowsky had architect Louis A. Sheinart give it the Arts and Crafts front it still shows, with patterned brickwork in Flemish bond and a decorative parapet.
