USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / West 10th Street, 20-38
 apartment building, 1850s construction, Italianate style (architecture)

A "terrace" of 4.5-story brownstone Anglo-Italianate rowhouses, with unifying wrought-iron balconies at the second floor and English basements entered at street level, also behind low wrought-iron fences. Traditionally, this row is attributed to the noted architect James Renwick, Jr., but it hasn't been proven.

All these houses were erected in 1856, except No. 38, built two years later. The row was built as an investment for banker James F.D. Lanier, who lived nearby at 16 West 10th. Most of the row was remodeled in the early 1900s, with high studio skylights added at the top two floors of Nos. 20 & 22. Each of the ground-level floors have rusticated stone with round-arched doorways and windows.
