1119 East 1st Avenue

Constructed circa 1913, this three-story, brick apartment building was constructed by Albert H. Walsh and named for his wife, Emma N. Walsh. Albert Walsh was the founder of the A.H. Walsh Plumbing Company. The building was built at a time when an increasing number of multi-family structures were being built in the Avenues, transitioning away from single-family, owner-occupied residences. Character defining features of the building include its centrally located stairs and central hallway, sandstone foundation, and its front porch with massive two-story Doric columns and decorative entablatures.
