146 Fifth Avenue

Another altered townhouse, 146 Fifth Avenue’s style is given in the Landmark Preservation Commission’s Designation Report as “none.” Pink-beige brick and Chicago frame windows are bisected by one of Fifth Avenue’s few street-facade fire escapes. The upper portion of the building is finished, inexplicably, with white brick.

Along with 14 Fifth Avenue, 146 Fifth Avenue is one of Lower Fifth’s most sadly mutilated buildings.
