Bushwick gets a new city landmark: Doering-Bohack House at 1090 Greene Ave.
A supermarket king lived on this Bushwick corner. His house is now a city landmark.
The striking 1880s-vintage wood frame house at 1090 Greene Ave. once belonged to Henry C. Bohack, who founded Bohack’s grocery-store chain in Brooklyn with a Fulton Street shop in 1887.
The city Landmarks Preservation Commission voted unanimously Tuesday to grant the house protected status as an individual city landmark at a public meeting at its Lower Manhattan headquarters.
