Builders turned to higher-rise apartment houses, preferably on large corner sites. An illustration in an 1912 issue of Real Estate Record and Builders’ Guide shows a nearly uniform row of 3-story brick and brownstone houses on the westside of West End Avenue between 103rd and 104th Streets. The accompanying article reported that the Paterno Brothers had bought them and would replace them with a 12-story apartment house. It may have taken some time to  \nvacate the existing houses on the  \nsite; although its building permit was issued in 1912, the present 895 West End Avenue was probably not completed until 1916.  \nWhile it was going up, the Paternos were assembling a site at the northwest corner of 104th Street. A 1916 issue of the publication reported that the 905 West End Avenue Corporation, whose president was Anthony Paterno, had acquired the row houses at 901 through 909 West End Avenue plus 303 West 104th Street. The building now known as 905 West End Avenue received its building permit in 1916 and was completed in the fall of 1917.  \n􀀖􀂓􀂓􀂈}À>􀂘Ì 􀀌iÛi􀂏􀂜«iÀà  \nThe Paterno Brothers were an immigrant success story worthy of a Hollywood biopic.

Heartened by the fair weather, crowds of visitors gathered around some sixty curbside stalls, dug through the piles of merchandise, and uncovered the secret ingredient animating the Yard Sale for twenty-seven years: community spirit unsurpassed on any block in the five boroughs.  \nEarlier that morning, parents and children raced to unpack truckloads of items and arrange displays of vintage clothing, costume jewelry, abandoned toys and games, retired household items, and various forsaken treasures. They watched volunteers wearing navy blue tee-shirts chasing down wind-blown sheets of poster-board, which would serve as signs marking the locations ofthe Bake Sale, Book Sale, Raffle, and Silent Auction.  \nMeanwhile, around the corner under the West End Avenue scaffolding, visitors waited while volunteers at ‘What-a-Bargain’ stocked tables overflowing with pre-owned household items awaiting their next incarnations in welcoming kitchens and playrooms. At the Bake Sale on the opposite corner, volunteers poured hot coffee and smeared bagels with cream cheese, while stocking the tables with every variety of baked delicacy.  \nBy 10:00 AM, the first visitors descended to inspect the items on display at stalls lining both sides of the street. The steady breeze invited connoisseurs to admire animated blouses and ties hanging from the vendors’ racks. Infecting the crowd with the headiness of seasonal change, it lured gamers to the raffle table.
