J. Lubrott dresses a three-story store building in patterned brick and cast stone
No. 81-06 is one of four buildings, Nos. 81-04 through 81-10, covered by a single 1922 permit (NB 14024-1922) for the Polk Construction Co. Architect J. Lubrott gave the row polychrome brickwork laid in zigzag, basketweave, checkerboard and soldier patterns, with curved pediments and stone plaques on the parapets. The Landmarks Preservation Commission called this decorative brick and cast-stone treatment a popular approach in the first two decades of the century.
“The various brick patterns include zigzag, basketweave, checkerboard, and soldier coursing. The parapets have curved pediments with stone plaques.”
