A narrow avenue front, a long corner elevation

At the southeast corner of Fifth Avenue and East 20th Street, Robert Maynicke’s limestone-faced store-and-loft building dates to 1898–99. The city’s Ladies’ Mile designation report identifies Richard Williamson as its original owner. Its Fifth Avenue frontage measures roughly 25 feet, compared with about 100 feet along East 20th Street.

Sidewalk reading: compare the avenue’s three window bays with the longer side elevation. Continuous horizontal cornices tie the two together. The report describes a rusticated two-story base, a sixth-story balcony and an upper sequence that changes from square-headed to segmental and round arches. These descriptions record the building when surveyed for the 1989 report; storefronts and other details may have changed.

Early occupants included milliners, upholsterers and publishers; garment businesses predominated by the 1920s. For a neighboring comparison, see 129–131 Fifth Avenue: the city report describes its upper floors as harmonizing with No. 133. Compare the rooflines from the public sidewalk without entering private premises.
