A pair of 3-story (plus raised basements) Renaissance-revival (with Churrigueresque) elements residential buildings completed together in 1894. Designed by Horace Edgar Hartwell, they are mirror-images, clad in painted stone. No. 6 is painted white, and No. 8 is reddish-brown. The entrances are next to each other, atop low, elongated stoops. The west sidewall at No. 8 retains its curves and floral carvings at the front, while No. 6's has been altered to a higher, blocky style. The segmental-arched doorways have wooden doors with glass panes, with patterned moldings around the tops, surmounted by small, circular windows surrounded by elaborate foliate ornament that is flanked by short, angled pilasters, and scrolled at the tops, with a flat center that carries a sunburst above it. To the outside, raised higher are paired windows with iron grilles, separate transoms, and rounded saucer-shaped sills with iron railings. Below, the basement level has paired windows as well, with rough-faced surrounds and iron grilles.
The upper floors have two bays of single-windows, with separate transoms at the top floor, above which are small, round windows framed by carved wreaths (these have been filled-in at No. 6). The facades are crowned by black metal roof cornices with friezes filled with a field of small dentils.
