Lucie C. Driscoll has 8 Jones Street's basement stores converted into apartments
In 1929 the owner, Lucie C. Driscoll, hired the architect Mitchell Bernstein to turn the basement stores of this 1872 tenement into apartments for middle-class renters. The basement and first stories were redone in a Mediterranean style. It was one of a pair of Italianate tenements Henry Weil had built in 1871-72, and number 6 next door, its twin, got a similar Mediterranean makeover a year earlier.
