641-43 Tenth Avenue
Year: 2018
Type: Archival research and renovation proposal
Faculty Advisors: Andrew Dolkart, Claudia Kavenaugh, Kim Yao

641-43 Tenth Avenue exemplifies the first major wave of tenement constructions in the late 1870s. It is significant as a rare example of a tenement from this period with most of its characteristic architectural elements preserved. Also, it can be considered one of the latest cases of Italianate style proliferation. Nowadays 641-43 Tenth Avenue continues performing its primary use as a tenement with storefront spaces in its original layout. Given the program of the building succeed over the years, this proposal relies upon the rehabilitation of the storefronts and the façade restoration as a way of recalling its historical features.
