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

3-story (plus raised basement) Greek-revival residential building completed in 1843 as a townhouse for Peter B. Doremus, later owned by Isaac Phillips. It is clad in red brick above a brownstone basement, and still retains its fine brownstone stoop with cast-iron railings. The cap-molded brownstone lintels also remain. At some later date (probably in the late 1860s), the house was updated by the addition of a bracketed brown metal Italianate roof cornice and a very fine brownstone Italianate door enframement with handsome paired, panelled wooden doors. The door enframement features large acanthus-carved console brackets which support a segmental-arched door opening which has an acanthus-carved keystone, enclosing paneled wooden double-doors.
