The six-story building at No. 71 Barrow Street, which runs through the block to No. 37 Commerce Street, went up in 1897 to a design by George F. Pelham. Louisa C. Friedline commissioned it, and it opened as a combined hotel and boarding house before being converted to apartments. The Landmarks Preservation Commission singles out the carved Renaissance ornament at the entrance floor and the ornate iron balcony over the doorway, which doubles as the end of the fire escape.
“Designed by the architect George F. Pelham for Louisa C. Friedline, this building first served as a combination hotel and boarding house before its conversion into apartments.”
