Mayer Sugarman and Morris Adelstein built the six-story tenement at 68-70 Second Avenue in 1907, to designs by Edward A. Mayers. It was planned for 25 families, with stores on the ground and basement levels. The Renaissance Revival facade has brick quoins at the corners, limestone window lintels and sills, and a bracketed, modillioned cornice that is still original.
