In 1852 the architect William H. Cauvet designs a four-story brick apartment house at Eighth Avenue and West 13th Street for J. Russell, with a store on the ground floor. The Landmarks Preservation Commission's 1969 report notes that it still has its original windows and cornice, and that the windows shrink in size on each higher floor.
