Charles Beck has a four-story apartment house with a shop built on a vacant lot at 96 Christopher Street
The lot had been empty, and it ran through the block to Grove Street. In 1874 the architect William E. Bishop built a narrow four-story brick apartment house here for Charles Beck, with a store at street level. The facade is plain apart from stone window trim and a strongly projecting bracketed cornice, and end columns of the original storefront still survive.
