 townhouses, 1850s construction, Italianate style (architecture)

A pair of 3-story Anglo-Italianate residential buildings completed together in 1853 as townhouses for William S. Fogg, and Mary A. French. They both have rusticated brownstone basements, and have been resurfaced in brown smooth-stucco on the upper floors. No. 433 retains its original high stoop with cast-iron railings, while the stoop at the other house has been replaced by an angled metal staircase. Both have doorways under round arches, and No. 431 retains the full-length parlor floor windows, which have been shortened at No. 433. The basement windows have iron grilles, and the basement level at No. 433 is painted white. All the upper floor windows are segmental-arched, and each house is crowned by a paneled, brown metal roof cornice with scrolled brackets.
