39 Fifth Avenue
Posted on October 24, 2013 by — No Comments
Built in 1922, 39 Fifth Avenue is the second building in this district by Emory Roth. Like Roth’s later building at 24 Fifth to the south, the style is nominally Spanish Renaissance, handled in an engagingly droll manner. The terra cotta faux loggia and mock-heraldic coat of arms make for a welcome splash of color that is echoed by tiles and arches at the upper stories.
