MAS Proposed Downtown Landmark #10
Where: 495 Fulton Street
When: 1905
Why: Oppenheim & Collins was a purveyor of fine women's clothing. This corner building built for O&C, retains its elegant neo-Renaissance style detail on the upper three stories, including two-story arches, terra cotta detail and a deep cornice.

Comments
Another fab building spoilt only by the abysmal changes at the commercial ground-floor level. Since the kind of draconian zoning I'd love to see on retail/commercial spaces will never happen, all we can do is remember to look up when passing these spots.
