Architect Hugo Auden drew plans in 1904 for this tenement at Forest Avenue and East 166th Street, built for the developer Thomas Quinn; its cost was estimated at $40,000. Quinn also developed the row of nine Warren C. Dickerson houses next to it on Forest Avenue. This is the only building Auden designed in the district, and the Landmarks Preservation Commission knew of no other work or details about him. When the district was designated in 1982, the building was unchanged apart from its filled-in storefront.

1904
The five-story tenement houses fourteen families above a corner store
Built of brick and stone for fourteen families, the five-story building follows a Renaissance Revival scheme with three horizontal divisions and end bays marked by brick quoins. A curved bay turns the corner between its two facades, the ground floor has entrances on both streets plus a corner shop, and a pressed metal cornice with dentils, modillions and scrolled brackets crowns the top.
