rowhouse, apartment building
A row of three 3-story (plus raised basements) Renaissance-revival residential buildings completed together in 1893. Designed by Neville & Bagge, they all match and are clad in brownstone.
High stoops on the right of each house lead up to parlor-floor entrances with paneled wooden double-doors and wood-and-glass outer doors, below transoms, framed by delicate foliate moldings. Matching moldings frame the two single-windows to the left of each entrance; at Nos. 34 & 36 there are iron grilles that bow out at the bottoms. The piers have panels of foliate ornament near the middles and at the tops, and there are panels of foliate ornament below each window. The stoops have round newel posts with wreaths and rounded caps. To the left of each stoop the basement levels are rough-faced and rusticated, and have two single-windows with iron grilles. There are basement entries in the sides of the stoops.
The upper floors have bowed, gently projecting bays of three windows that span almost the full width of each facade. The piers at the 2nd floor are banded with roundels at the mid-points, and topped by stylized capitals. There is a continuous band of foliate ornament below them, and individual ornamented panels below the windows on the 3rd floor, which has thin, rough-faced banding on the piers and continuing onto the ends of the facades. The buildings are crowned by black metal roof cornices that also angle back slightly at the ends, and have brackets, dentils, and friezes with wreaths and garlands.
No. 34 remains a single-family townhome, while the other two are divided into apartments.
