Historic site · Sheepshead Bay, New York

The Lundy Brothers building on Emmons Avenue

The 1934 building put up for the restaurateur Frederick William Irving Lundy as part of the city-sponsored waterfront redevelopment, designed by the firm of Bloch & Hesse in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. It survives as a retail plaza; the Lundy's restaurant that made it famous is permanently closed.

History

Designated a New York City individual landmark on March 3, 1992 under LP-1706, in a report that called it the last of the great seafood palaces which once flourished in Sheepshead Bay.
