George F. Pelham designed 73 and 75 East 7th Street for Joseph Buttenwieser in 1897 as two adjoining tenements filed under a single building application, with one shared buff-brick facade. Each half was planned for 22 families, two on the first story and four on every floor above, along with two stores, and was projected to cost $27,000. A brick parapet later replaced the original cornice.
