 apartment building  Add category
4-story residential building completed in 1846 as a house for baker Richard D. Akin. It is clad in red brick with a corner storefront. The storefront is crowned by a deep cornice with fascia below; it is projected out beyond the line of the building, resting on a shelf with panel below it at the recessed entrance to the store. Cast iron columns support the building above. The roof cornice is the conventional bracketed and paneled type of the period. The attractive little side doorway (No. 222 Waverly Place) to the upper floors reflects, in its pediment, that of the St. John's Parish House adjoining. The ground floor is occupied by Doma restaurant.
