A pair of 3-story Greek-revival residential buildings completed together in 1841. They are clad in red brick with ground-level entrances. Of the two, No. 266 remains closest to its original appearance. Elaborate Neo-Grec roof cornices, with brackets, modi1lions, dentils and panels, were substituted for the original ones at both buildings. The ironwork at the entrances of these two houses, and at the areaway of No. 266, is Italianate in style, dating from the middle of the century.
