A curved-corner Moderne store block rises at 37th Avenue and 86th Street
This one-story commercial building at the northwest corner of 37th Avenue and 86th Street went up around 1950, a date the Landmarks Commission took from a Sanborn map; its architect and developer are unknown. Its tapestry brick front has cast-stone trim, a curved corner bay, striped banding set with bezants and a stepped parapet. In 1993 the corner shop, No. 85-25, still kept parts of its original layout.
