Detail of sheet metal cornice, E.2nd St between Ave C and D. The building I suppose was built by someone named Ray :)
The other photo taken from the South side of East Housten Street, shows the building and it's abandoned neighbor to the West.
I believe 'Ray,' the tallest building, was #306 East 2nd St, and the adjacent building which occupied two lots wide was #304-302

A multi piece festoon panel is also shown.
