John Hauser builds a Beaux-Arts tenement at 68 Thompson Street for Solomon Jacobs
Read more
Solomon Jacobs commissioned the architect John Hauser to build 68 and 72 Thompson Street as a pair in 1904. This red-brick six-story tenement has terra-cotta trim, projecting end bays with Corinthian pilasters, and window lintels carved with swags and scrolled acanthus keystones. The facade and ground-floor storefronts have since been restored, and the cast-iron piers survive.
“Built as part of a pair (with 72 Thompson Street), 68 Thompson Street was constructed in 1904 for Solomon Jacobs by John Hauser.”
