A three-story corner apartment house rises at 60th Street and 71st Avenue
Permit NB 1288-1910 covers this Renaissance Revival apartment building on a basement, its frontage carrying the addresses 70-08 through 70-16 60th Street as well as 59-27 71st Avenue. The Landmarks Preservation Commission could not determine its architect or first owner. Its eight-bay upper floors are framed by brick pilasters set on leafy brackets and topped by stone capitals bearing Maltese crosses, and it keeps decorative wrought-iron fire escapes. It opened with storefronts on the first story, which were later removed and filled in with brick for apartments.
