    J. B. Snook gives 91 Grand a cast-iron front that avoids ornate marble imitation

    J. B. Snook designed Nos. 91 and 93 Grand together in 1869, and the pair share one four-story cast-iron facade, forty feet wide in total, split only by a break in the roof cornice. Rather than imitating an elaborate Italianate or Second Empire marble front, he chose a plainer look. Six windows run across each floor of the two-building unit, and slender pilasters with Doric capitals frame the storefront.
