    In 1921 Domino Troiani had a one-story store built at 106 Seventh Avenue South, also numbered 74 Christopher Street. It stands where a five-story apartment house was razed after Seventh Avenue South was extended through the old blocks in 1919. The 1969 landmarks report calls the little building inoffensive as a neighborhood store, though it bears no relation in scale to the five-story apartment house at No. 104 beside it.

    “…it is a one-story store with high parapet bearing the name of the lessee. It was built in 1921 for Domino Troiani…”
