    John Rubinstein has William Jose turn a Greek Revival house at 98 Second Avenue Italianate

    Built about 1842-43 as a four-story Greek Revival row house, possibly for John Stuyvesant, this building changed in 1873 when owner John Rubinstein hired William Jose. Jose added a fifth story, new window lintels and an Italianate cornice. A two-story storefront followed in 1897.
