KING.313.1Scope and Content
Constructed ca. 1812-15; rehabilitated before 1940. Saddler John Anthony built one of King Street's finer commercial buildings on this site shortly after 1812. Although the structure experienced alterations in the 1840s, it retains its Flemish-bonded brickwork, marble belt course, stone lintels, tile roof, and a projecting dormer. While it was the site of the Jack Krawcheck Men's Clothing Store for many decades, the owners completed significant restoration, a rear courtyard designed by Loutrel Briggs, and renovation of an adjoining store at 311 King Street, designed in the Neoclassical Revival style.
File contains photocopies of photos when building was the Jack Krawcheck store; photocopy of floor plans, elevations, and photos submitted in support of BAR application (August 2004) (no indication of approval status); Rosen and Associates inspection report (2001).Collection
