771 Eighth Avenue

 pharmacy, 1978_construction, commercial building

2-story commercial building completed in 1978. It is faced in off-white smooth-stucco at the ground floor, with a storefront on the avenue, consisting of two large plate-glass windows at the north, and a metal-and-glass entrance in the south bay. Another storefront window is at the east end of the south facade, with a small metal service door at the west end.

The 2nd floor is faced in light brown, textured stone blocks at the west end, grey corrugated metal siding at the center (sloping upwards to the east with two windows), and a glass curtain wall along the shorter east end of the 2nd floor. Above the short curtain wall with aluminum mullions the east-facing upper part of the middle section is also clad in metal siding with three large windows. The upper floor was remodeled in 2006. The building is occupied by a Duane-Reade pharmacy.
