73 Second Avenue Building Date: 1886 Original Use: Residential/Commercial Original Owner: Benner & Zeller Original Architect: Adam Munch Description & Building Alterations

This five-story brick, stone, and terra cotta old law tenement was constructed in circa 1866. The Queen Anne style building features cast-iron columns at the first story, historic wood and glass transom window at the entryway, paneled piers, molded window lintels, decorative brick, and terra cotta spandrels, and wrought-iron fire escape. In 1924-25, the stoop was removed and the first story was lowered to sidewalk level to allow for the installation of two storefronts.
