Humphrey Driscoll's tenement rises, and in World War II it carries a service flag across the street
Humphrey Driscoll built the five-story Italianate tenement in 1873-74, with a store on the ground floor until 1938, when the storefront was bricked over. During World War II a service flag was hung above the street from this building and the one opposite, No. 78 East 2nd Street.
