rowhouse, apartment building
A row of four 4-story (including raised basements) Renaissance-revival (with Neo-Grec elements) residential buildings completed together in 1893. Designed by Neville & Bagge, they are clad in brownstone.
No. 26 at the east end has been resurfaced and stripped of ornament. The stoop has been replaced by a ground-level entrance on the right, down a couple steps from the sidewalk, with a black wooden door. To the left are two single-windows with iron grilles. The upper floors have three bays of single-windows, each with many small panes. There are simple sills on the windows, and above the 4th-floor windows are three roundels.
No. 28 has a dog-legged box stoop winding down and left from a parlor-floor entrance with paneled wooden double-doors and wood-and-glass outer doors below a transom. They are framed by fluted pilasters, with a surround at the transom that features an acanthus-leaf keystone and cornice. Paired windows to the left are divided by a fluted pilaster and topped by a panel of foliate ornament with a thin, dentiled cornice. The lower part of the stoop's front wall is rough-faced, and its two newel posts are fluted, with low-peaked caps. The basement floor is partially rough-faced, with two single-windows each surrounded by a semi-circular egg-and-dart molding. There is a basement entry in the side of the stoop. The top two floors have three bays of single-windows flanked by wide, fluted pilasters with rosettes at the tops. The outer bays are topped by scrolled pediments and the middle bay by triangular pediments. The facade is crowned by a brown metal roof cornice with brackets, modillions, dentils, and panels with alternating rosettes and triglyphs.
No. 30 matches the design on No. 28, but with a black wooden door, and iron grilles on the parlor-floor windows. Air-conditioning units have been cut below the outer window bays on the upper floors.
No. 32 at the west end also matches, but has its stoop replaced by a ground-level entrance on the right, down a couple steps from the sidewalk, with a wood-and-glass door in a smooth stone surround. The original parlor-floor entrance is replaced by a single-window (with the surrounding ornament removed), and there are iron grilles on all the basement and parlor-floor windows. The roof cornice is painted black.
No. 28 remains a single-family townhome, while the others are divided into apartments.
