According to the documents from the Brooklyn Department of Buildings, 1136 and 1138 Bushwick Avenue were built for $4,500 each by their owner Lorenz Frank, and 1140 Bushwick Avenue was built a year after for $5,000 by its owner Regina Laubenheimer. 1136 and 1140 Bushwick Avenue are covered in vinyl siding, and none of them retains its original brick facade, tin roof, nor wood cornice.
