Four 3.5/4-story Greek-revival residential buildings originally completed in 1842 as 2.5-story townhouses. They all first appeared much like No. 76 does today, with red brick facades over stone basements.

No. 70 was later greatly modified by the substitution of a basement entrance, with a pointed-arched doorway, for the former stoop, and by the addition of the top story. It is crowned by an imposing cornice with small console brackets. No. 76 retains its original roof cornice with tiny garlanded attic windows cut into the fascia board, a charming indication of the existence of an attic story. Above the cornice, skylights appear on the roofs at Nos. 74 and 76.
