The Barrington

 condominium, 1911_construction, Beaux-Arts (architecture)

9-story Beaux-Arts residential building completed in 1911. Designed by George F. Pelham, it is clad in brown brick above a 2-story banded limestone base. The building is U-shaped, divided in the center by a deep entrance light court (clad in lighter brown banded brick). At the rear of the light court, the ground floor has black cast-iron framing leaded-glass-and-wrought-iron double-doors, two wide sidelights, and transoms. Above, the narrow rear wall of the light court has two bays of double-windows divided by dark-brown iron mullions, with stone sills. The west-facing side wall of the light court has two bays of paired windows alternating with two bays of single-windows, while the east-facing wall has two bays of three windows, with a single-window bay at the front end. Both the east and west wings of the facade have two bays of tripartite windows flanking a wide single-window bay. A simple band course caps the base.

There are projecting stone balconies with iron railings at the end bays of both wings at the 5th floor, and at the center bay of both wings at the 7th floor. A double band course with an egg-and-dart molding sets off the 9th floor, with cartouches and hanging pendants at the ends of both wings. The 9th-floor windows have terra-cotta surrounds, and the end piers have decorative terra-cotta overlays that extends as shafts above the copper roof cornice.

The side elevations are clad in plain brick. The building was converted to condominiums in 1985, with 52 units.
