Around 1887 August Schaefer builds this six-story apartment house at the corner of Second Avenue and East 4th Street, working from plans by architect Julius Kastner. Terra-cotta panels fill the spandrels between the windows, and the third-story center window sits recessed under a segmental arch with scrolled keystone. In 1926 the ground floor was lowered to street level and given a two-story storefront with show windows on the second floor.
