Boro Heights Corp. built this one-story commercial block in 1941 to a Moderne design by Oscar I. Silverstone. Stone faces the avenue and the cut-off corner, with scalloped stone coping, a fluted, stepped pediment over the corner bay and a fascia of two rope-like moldings. Most storefronts have since been replaced, but a historic Carrara glass sign with painted letters survives at 78-03-78-05.
