29 Bank Street

 apartment building, Greek Revival (architecture), 1840s construction

3-story Greek-revival residential building completed in 1840 as a townhouse for William Harsell. It is clad in red brick above a stone basement. The double doors are deeply recessed and flanked by paneled reveals decorated with a rope molding. Sheetmetal cornices of a later date appear above the window lintels. A bracketed roof cornice with modillions, identical to the one opposite at No. 38 Bank Street, is an addition of the 1870s. The graceful ironwork at the stoop, with its wrought iron curvilinear design in the upper section and interesting openwork newels with finials, resting on stone pedestals, is the original, as is the wrought iron areaway railing with Greek Revival fret castings used as a border at its base. The building was last renovated in 2011.
