1888
A. Baker has a five-story tenement built at 80 Thompson Street, with its date set into the cornice
The building went up in 1888 for an owner named A. Baker, to designs by the architect James Farnsworth. It is a five-story walk-up of red brick with stone sills and lintels. The cornice has a central pediment with geometric brackets and rosettes, and the year 1888 appears in raised numerals. The ground floor still has its wooden storefront cornice above fluted cast-iron piers, and a central residential entrance sits between two shops.
