 apartment building  Add category

5-story Renaissance-revival residential building completed in 1877. It is clad in brownstone, painted red. The central doorway is framed by pilasters, with a triangular pediment, and is fronted by a 2-step stoop with cast-iron railings and newel posts, along with cast-iron fencing to either side. On either side of the doorway is a large single-window. There are four bays of windows on the upper floors, and at these, the corbelled stone sills and large eared lintels are painted black (contrasting with those on the ground floor, which match the color of the facade). A wrought-iron fire escape with basket-style landings runs down the center of the facade, which is crowned by a black bracketed metal roof cornice.
