A Lower East Side building is showing its ‘underwear’
At 155 Rivington St. on the Lower East Side, an “underwear” sign is still visible behind a roll-down gate.
Records show the building was built in 1910. According to a comment posted on the Forgotten NY web site, a man named Sam Berlin, along with his two brothers, once sold fancy underwear at this location.
Most recently the space was home to a bar called St. Jerome’s, which closed last year.
