History and description

After the 1914 Lexington Avenue explosion, 32 students and parents moved here in 1915 to start a new school and colony. Sam Goldman was born in 1883 in Russia and immigrated here around 1903. Sam and his wife Gusta continued work on the house until 1936. The one-story house has a stuccoed exterior and features bas-relief sculptures. ^[3]
