9-11 Weehawken Street (New York City, New York)

3-story Romanesque-revival mercantile building completed in 1909. Designed by George M. McCabe as a stable and single-family dwelling. In 1922, the building was converted into Lynch’s Garage, still with a single-family apartment on the 3rd story. It was purchased in 1941 by Rose and Ralph Kantor, who operated the Weehawken Garage here. From 1947 until 1984, No. 9-11 Weehawken Street was owned by the Oelhaf family and used by the Meier & Oelhaf Co., the marine repair firm.

This building, framed with steel, cast-iron, and wood, and clad in red brick with rockfaced stone trim, has a rusticated ground story with two large central molded round arches flanked by smaller rectangular entrances with transoms, upper stories with molded segmental-arched fenestration, and a terminating corbeled cornice with a central pediment. Two large metal roll-down gates now cover the ground-floor arches.
