USA / New Jersey / Hoboken / New York City, New York / West 12th Street, 48-52
 apartment building, 1850s construction, Italianate style (architecture)
A trio of Anglo-Italianate residential buildings completed in 1854 as rowhouses. They are each two bays wide and smooth-stuccoed to simulate brownstone, with door enframements unique in Greenwich Village. Inside the masonry doorframes, wood segmental-arches of shorter radius rest on a pair of handsome Corinthian columns, leaving small spandrel panels between the two arches. These houses are crowned by individual black roof cornices, each decorated by a pair of panels with swags in the fascia. There are small iron railings in front of the 2nd-floor windows, with larger, more ornate ones at No. 52.
