Architects Kurtzer & Rohl designed 77 East 7th Street in 1899 for owner August Ruff, with stores at street level and apartments for 16 families, one on the first floor and three on each of the five floors above. The projected cost was $20,000. Its buff-brick front carries elaborate terra-cotta window trim, and its original cornice survives.
