Landmarks report finds the shops gone and garage doors in the rear extension
By the time of the 2010 designation report, the storefronts on this building's Onderdonk Avenue side had been removed and replaced with brick and new window openings, and the corner shop on Cornelia Street was likewise filled in. Two roll-up garage doors had been set into the one-story rear extension, and a flat metal sign hung at the base.
