75 Stewart has a cavernous basement; the blueprint section shows the ceiling is 16'— the highest of all the ceilings in the building. The basement windows, now bricked-up, ran along the Stewart facade and the Johnson facade, in either long horizontal bands or a series of smaller squares. I am looking for other buildings with similar windows to see what would have been here before they were removed. They could have been pane windows or glass brick.
