137 Sullivan Street

 apartment building, 1904_construction, Queen Anne style (architecture)

6-story Queen Anne-style residential building completed in 1904. Designed by Horenburger & Straub as a tenement, and built at the same time as its twin next door at 135 Sullivan, both are clad in dark red brick, with six bays. White brick quoins mark the corners of the facade, and the windows have elaborate stone moldings and pediments on top of the outer bays; the inner bays have splayed lintels with keystones. There is a stone band course connecting the base of each floor, and a white brick band across the middle of each floor. Thin stone band courses also connect the pediments. The top floor has banded white and red brick, and the building is crowned by a prominent black metal roof cornice with brackets and large modillions. A wrought-iron fire escape with basket-style landings runs down the center of the facade. The ground floor is occupied by Palmer Trading Company and Jean Claude Restaurant.
